From OTR to Tractor Tires, Tire Recycling, Optimal Sourcing Strategies in Volatile Markets...
Apollo Tyres to build a greenfield plant in Hungary with an investment of 200 million euros. ~ The Economic Times, Mar 10, 2008
For the first time in three years, a foreign tire-maker may build a plant in Russia. The U.S. company Goodyear is considering a $200-250-mln project in Yaroslavl region to produce up to 5 mln car tires a year. ~ LexisNexis, May 19 2008
P
rices for synthetic and natural rubber have risen tremendously amid rising crude prices and harvest woes of natural rubber plantations. As material substitution for rubber is minimal, buyers need to juggle costs with more efficient sourcing strategies. What are the challenges and procurement strategies available?
A boom in mining and agriculture activities invariably means a rise in Off the Road Tires (OTR). There is a global shortage now and Bridgestone, whose OTR sales rose by more than 5% last year, plans to increase its output of large and ultra large radial tires by 40% by 2012. (Source: Tire Review, April 1 2008). What is the market dynamics for OTR tires in the CIS region ? The increase in OTR demand has also sparked a demand for retreading. What is the potential and will the growth be parallel to other markets like USA?
While cost management remains important, tire makers in Russia/CEE will also need to continuously innovate to maintain their market position in meeting international industry standards. What are the latest tire trends in the region?
As going “green” becomes more important, will tire recycling play a more important role in the future? What are the trends and prospects ?

CMT's 3rd Rubber & Tire Russia/CEE Markets conference is expected to have a bigger turnout as many new speaker companies have consented to share their knowledge and experiences in the fastest growing region for rubber and tire. They include key industry experts from Lanxess, LMC, Sibur, MLPC International and Bekaert who will share their perspectives on the Europe Market Outlook while Synthos, Fenner Dunlop, Rosava and Birla Carbon will examine the demand-supply dynamics and impact of the rising raw materials costs.
Krakow, Poland (PRWEB) September 22, 2008 -- An annual rubber & tire meeting to discuss challenges facing the industry will take place in Krakow, Poland on October 14-15, 2008.
One key issue to be raised during the 2-day 3rd Rubber & Tire Russia/CEE Markets conference will be on prices of synthetic and natural rubber that have risen tremendously amid rising crude prices and harvest woes. Coupled with lack of material substitution for rubber, buyers are forced to juggle costs with more efficient sourcing strategies as well as managing demand-supply dynamics of raw materials such as natural rubber, synthetic rubber, carbon black, steel tire cord etc. Presenting their perspectives on this issue are representatives from Fenner Dunlop, Birla Carbon and Synthos.
Sibur Tire on the other hand will discuss the outlook of OTR market in the CIS region & the development trends of tractor tires. Due to the boom in mining and agriculture activities which translates to a rise in Off the Road Tires (OTR) demand and with a global shortage now, Bridgestone, whose OTR sales rose by more than 5% last year, has announced plans to increase its output of large and ultra large radial tires by 40% by 2012. (Source: Tire Review, April 1 2008).
While cost management remains important, tire makers in Russia/CEE will also need to continuously innovate to maintain their market position in meeting international industry standards.
To provide an insight on potential markets, a review on the latest tire market trends in Ukraine will be presented by invited speaker from Rosava while speakers from LMC International and Lanxess will discuss market outlook for natural rubber and butyl rubber respectively. In addition, a representative from Raiffeisen Central Bank is set to examine a Macro Economic Outlook of Russia/CEE markets.
Other interesting papers to be tabled include a topic on the impact of Chinese Tire exports on the Russia/CEE region from Beijing R&D Institute of Rubber Industry, and presentation on the cost-effectiveness, potential of tire recycling and its new technology by speaker from Green Rubber Global.
This conference promises valuable input on the outlook of OTR market in the CIS region & development trends of tractor tires and will also be the premier networking platform to develop vital business relationships.
