Bandag expands Continuum tread design line-up

Sept. 13, 2006

Bandag Inc. has expanded its line of Continuum brand OTR retread materials to include serpentine tread designs.

Tread designs include:

* the C1031, which is designed for use on straddle carriers in port facilities;

* the C1041, which is designed for use in industrial/container handling applications requiring a traction design;

* the C1071, which is designed for rigid dump trucks requiring extra traction.

"The global shortage for new tires has created opportunities to meet customer demand previously not served by our product line," says Mike Poirier, North American OTR sales manager, Continuum brand OTR retread materials.
