Innovative Tire Development Forum 2015

The tire industry is a mature industry that has not changed for 110 years. We are starting to see dramatic changes in production methods regarding new materials available and new technologies becoming more present. Hands-free production and components preparation are already in limited use. Global automotive industry holds significant opportunities for industry players due to strong demand for passengers and commercial vehicles in developing countries. China and India’s continuing growth in automotive industry has attracted substantial investment from international player like Pirelli who is setting up its largest global tire manufacturing center in China.
