Panama, Rep. of Panama, June 13, 2018:  

Already in its ninth year, the LATIN TYRE EXPO proved to be the place to be in June for the tire industry.  Nearly 200 international tire and retread manufacturers and distributors exhibited at the show met and connected with quality buyers over the course of the three day event. 

“We had another really great show this year!  I think we got close to just above 100 visitors over the 3 days, which is really good! More quality visitors as well.” – Gregers Lindvig, General Manager, NDI Tire Co., Ltd.

Exhibitors presented a wide array of products from new and used tires, tire equipment, repair products, retreading products, and wheels. Companies from the US, Europe, Asia, and Latin America participated. Buyers from Latin America were very pleased at the opportunities that the expo afforded them in Panama.

“Really well organized show!  I think we are pleased with the amount and quality of potential customers for our products.” – Steve Vandyke, 31 Inc. / Xtraseal

Supporting the retread industry is a key factor for the expo and we were pleased to have the presence of several companies and associations.
Our technical conferences included presentations from the Tire Industry Association by Kevin Rohlwing, Senior Vice President of Training, David Shaw, Head of Research, of the Tire Industry Research (UK) and other industry leaders.

 “Latin America has great potential.  Latin America needs a quality supplier” –  Mr. Krishnaram, CEO of Emrald Resilient Tyre Manufacturers Pvt. Ltd. in India

“Thanks again to you and your wonderful team for another successful expo. We had a great show as always and I would like to thank all involved for a well organized exhibition.” – Louis Pereira, Used Tyres Australia
