Raw material prices also vex Russian tiremakers

May 8, 2007

Raw material prices aren't just a big concern for tiremakers in North America. They're also a headache for Russian tire manufacturers.

Sibur-Russian Tyres recently hosted a meeting in Moscow, Russia, that discussed ways to cope with escalating prices for raw materials brought in from outside of the country.

Participants included Amtel-Vredestein, government groups and other entities.

Another meeting has been scheduled for July 1.
