TRIB Director to Speak at Traction Summit

David Stevens, managing director of the Tire Retread & Repair Information Bureau (TRIB), will speak at next week's Smithers Traction Summit.

The topic of Stevens' presentation will be "The Global Threat to Retreading." It will examine "the pressing economic, environmental, and competitive challenges confronting the global tire retreading industry," according to a statement from TRIB.

"In an era of shifting global markets, evolving environmental regulations and increasing competition from low-cost new tires, the retreading industry is navigating unprecedented pressures. Stevens’ presentation will highlight the economic and environmental benefits at stake, including reduced raw material consumption, lower carbon emissions, and substantial cost savings for fleets and consumers."
