RETREADING

With over 50 years of experience at our UK facility, our expert engineers have a deep understanding of the tyre market, allowing them to tailor solutions that meet the demands of commercial clients across Europe. In this video, we take you through the journey of a tyre as it receives a second life through our high-quality retreading process.

In the production of Bandvulc tyres, we apply a completely new rubber compound to carefully selected used casings through a hot vulcanization process, resulting in a retreaded tyre that looks and performs like new. Each casing is thoroughly inspected and approved following a standardised and rigorous safety protocol before entering production.

The hot retreading process begins with the complete removal of the original tread. A custom rubber compound, manufactured on-site at our adjacent rubber mixing plant, is then reapplied. To minimise resource consumption, we recover and reuse the thermal energy generated during vulcanization, feeding it back into the production cycle. This closed, clean, and energy-efficient system allows us to produce high-quality tyres sustainably and cost-effectively.

It’s attention to detail like this that proves retreaded tyres really do deserve our respect.
