MARANGONI®

The Ringtread is a patented spliceless game changer.

Sustainable and circular, the Ringtread is the only retreading system that uses joint-free precured rings that adhere to the casing without tension or deformation of the tread pattern. It ensures maximum performance at all times through excellent traction on demanding surfaces and a lower rolling resistance. This then offers fuel savings, high mileage, greater precision and directional stability. More than 25% of the cold retreaded tyres in Europe are being produced through the use of Marangoni technology. The market share of this production method is growing, as it is one of the best technologies available for retreading. It offers customers the ability to save time, resources, and provides the top performance that only the splice-less ring can offer.

  • Spliceless retread & 25% more mileage
  • Saves resources, decreases waste and we enable a constant supply
  • Stronger, has more grip and a longer life-cycle.

Our production process

Learn more about our production process below. Our factories work with best-in-class industry standards that enable the production of safe and performing tyres. Our processes have been secured and perfected through decades of experience.

Step 1

marangoni-step1

We start with ensuring that the old tire can e used for retreading through an inspection.

Step 2

marangoni-step2

We then remove the residual tread and create a homogenous surface.

Step 3

marangoni-step3

We repair the tire surface by cleaning out any superficial damage to the steel belt.

Step 4

marangoni-step4

A building process allows us to apply a thin layer of unvulcanised rubber and a new ring on top of it.

Step 5

marangoni-step5

Then we cure the tire by wrapping a rubber envelope around it for differential pressure during the curing.

Step 6

marangoni-step6

The tire is cured by means of vulcanisation over a period of 3 hours, after which the materials are bonded.

Our mission is to transform the linear tyre industry into a circular one. To make an impact on the world, one tyre at the time.
