HF to begin marketing truck tyre building machine

ERJ staff report (DS)

Cologne, Germany -- HF group is to begin making truck tyre building machines. The company is already the world's largest supplier of machinery to the tyre and rubber industries, but does not have truck tyre building machines in its portfolio.

The company developed a system over the last two years and now has a unit on trial at a trusted customer. Once that trial programme is complete, the company intends to begin marketing the unit to other potential customers.

Dr Gunther Simon, board member at HF told ERJ that the company expects the product to be well receive by the industry.
