Matthias Leppert, COO, Marangoni Group, said, “Marangoni is looking forward to join forces with CEAT in order to propose a premium retread to Indian customers starting from the high quality CEAT tyre (casing) and Marangoni’s RINGTREAD technology. This will be an important step to improve the competitiveness of Indian transport companies. Based on this experience CEAT and Marangoni intend to explore common opportunities in other markets too.”
