Tire Processing and Retreading Works

Retreading of used tires is an economic alternative to the purchase of new tires, and it enables trucking companies to save a good deal of money, thus increasing their competitive capacity on the market. Retreading equipment has the shortest payback period and makes it possible to offer retreaded tires to the consumers for 50-70% of similar new tire price. At the same time high mileage of retreaded tire is guaranteed.

Current status of the project: pre-investment feasibility study has been carried out; equipment suppliers have been monitored and an agreement for supply concluded; an application has been filed for activities within the Khabarovsk priority social and economic development area (PSEDA), located in the territory of Rakitnoe rural municipality of Khabarovsk Kray; the project has been prepared and is now at the final endorsement stage at the Russian Far East Development Corporation.
