Entitled “The Future of Retreading” the conference was headed up by keynote speaker Harjeeve Kandhari, the CEO of the Zenises Group, which recently acquired the UK’s largest independent retreader Vacu-Lug. He was backed up by a series of thought-provoking presentations covering subjects from ranging from retreading for the circular economy to the impact of Chinese tyres and from the challenges of marketing the retreading industry to the impact of automation on the equipment sector.

Well attended throughout, the conference elicited much demand for copies of the speakers’ presentations, so we are providing links to all of the presentations below.
