Marangoni Tread North America has expanded its retread plant in Madison, Tenn.
This $10 million commitment to the North American market has allowed MTNA to increase production capacity of Ringtread, its splice-less retread technology, by 30%, as well as to install the necessary machinery to begin producing Marangoni’s conventional pre-cure product Unitread within their North American plant.
Construction and installation is now complete and production will begin to ramp up. Employment at the plant has increased by 20 people, and MTNA expects to add an additional 8-10 people within the next 6 months.
This year also marked a new direction for MTNA as they established themselves as a full-service supplier and total solutions company for independent retreaders. MTNA now offers a full catalog of retread equipment and plant supplies to help dealers in the retreading of commercial truck tires.
