Commercial dealer group supports TRIB in big way

May 9, 2005

The American Commercial Tire Network (ACTN), a Tire Retread Information Bureau (TRIB) member since 2004, has made a major financial contribution to TRIB for its 2005 dues.

"We are delighted at the strong endorsement of TRIB by the members of ACTN," says Harvey Brodsky, TRIB's managing director. "Since we have a policy of not disclosing the amount of dues payments TRIB receives from it's members, we cannot mention the amount of their contribution for 2005. But suffice to say it is very significant, or in other words, when we opened our mail and saw the amount of their check, to say it made our day would be an understatement."

ACTN members are Belle Tire Distributors, Bob Sumerel Tire, Boulevard Tire, Commercial Tire, Cross-Midwest Tire, Custom Bandag, McCarthy Tire, McGriff Tire, Parkhouse Tire, Pete's Tire Barn, Pomp's Tire Service, Raben Tire, Redburn Tire, Southern Tire Mart, Snider Tire, Valley Tire and White Tire.

"What makes their contribution even more significant is that the members of ACTN already individually support TRIB," says Brodsky. "Their additional support as a group indicates to us how important they view TRIB's contribution to the well being of the retread industry, and we appreciate that."
