The TM Blue tire marks the future of Trelleborg Wheel Systems
trelleborg wheel systems took advantage of his presence in SIMA to present, on the one hand, the results of last year, and for another, explaining in detail one of the big bets of the brand for the future: the tire TM Blue. The company turnover last year of 314 million euros, representing a 65 per cent of the total business the European market. The same amount applies to the percentage of production of exclusively dedicated to agricultural equipment tire, while the remaining 35% is part of the Division of tire for transportation machinery.
The motto ' sorry, we only manufacture agricultural and industrial Tire ' headed by the stand that Trelleborg Wheel System had in Pavilion 6 of SIMA 2011, a space that used to present to the world one of their latest developments, the Blue TM. A tire, which according to Lorenzo Ciferri, director of Marketing of the agricultural Division, is a new concept based on three factors: production, cultivation, and emissions. Trelleborg changes with TM Blue around the concept of manufacture of the tyre, which hopes to save 1.5 billion litres of water per year, reduce steam and energy expenditure by 10% and increased 20% use of recycled material.
The new tyre intended to also protect the soil and therefore the plants, with a lower pressure on the ground to other competitors. As regards emissions, the use of TM Blue will mean an average savings of 2,550 euros per year in fuel.
Trelleborg bets on China
The landing in Asia of Trelleborg via its factory in Sri Lanka meant for the industrial tire giant a change in how they work. Now an investment of 28 million dollars from 2006 has been a change in the process of production, doubling the number of tires coming out of the Asian factory in the last five years.
The look is now made in China, one of the strongest markets in a near future, with 122 million arable hectares. For this reason, Trelleborg inaugurated on 17 February in Xingtai - Hebei province - his first manufacturing plant in the Asian giant. In China we will work hand in hand with brands such as Same, New Holland, Agco or John Deere, who expect to sell 50,000 units of machinery by 2014.
The 24,000 square meters plant has meant an investment of 14 million euros, will employ up to 300 people in the year 2013, and its production capacity will oscillate between 150,000 tyres in 2013 and 250,000 units that are expected to produce in 2015.
Trelleborg Wheel Systems presented in SIMA the new project in China and the results of last year.
