"I think it's a good thing for TRIB," says David Stevens, managing director of the Tire Retread & Repair Information Bureau (TRIB), about adding board members.
"We'll be adding three retreading companies and one tire repair company, so we'll be strengthening the retreaders representation on the board," he says. "We've been looking at bringing more voices into our discussions for several months, and the board felt it was a good time to add those voices to the mix."
