SMG - About Us - Production facilities

SMG launched industrial tire re-treading in cooperation with KRAIBURG Germany.

Continue with steady progress in Automotive Industry, SMG entered into industrial tire retreating businesses in cooperation with “ KRAIBURG ” the famous German Manufacturer established 56 years ago which is operating in accordance with ISO 9000 Certification, which means Total quality management in all progresses and recourses…etc.

For this purposes SMG built new factory. KRAIBURG is providing technical expertise and training for technicians, quality control and most important high quality products used in production process of tire retreating.

Decision for launching new industrial facility in Egypt was made by SMG and KRAIBURG after studying Egyptian market needs.

Egyptian market has quite a huge potential like Europe and America where every 100 new tires sold 60 are retread. Such sales ratio 100/60 is firm evidence of customers confidence in quality and durability and recognized economical reasons as a re-treading gives a tire a new life .

The tire long life after re-treading process is related to the materials used for re-tread, where KRAIBURG is providing materials with more dense structure of the tread then a new tire.

However the quality of re-treaded tire depends largely also to the quality of casings ( tire to be re-treaded) therefore the tire must not used until worn out . SMG and KRAIBURG are providing customers with expertise how to use tires and when is the best time to re-tread. Experience which KRAIBURG has world –wide is suggesting that proper use of tires and on time re-treading can extend tire life, even several times. Savings are evident and our task is to promote these practices in Egypt.

SMG provides two types of Customer Service:

Sales of re-treaded tires to market

While the casing are very carefully selected at the time of purchase by painstaking examination by expert and specially trained staff , to secure quality.

Selling service on COC terms, “Customer own casing ”.

The meaning of this that we retread for customers account their tires. We train customer’s fleet controllers to judge professionally the best replacement time of the tires after close examination of their wear out.

Timely replacement will ensure good casing condition for better operational results and economy.

Although SMG tire industrial re-treading was launched just recently, in fact a few months ago, market responded well and some of big Egyptian fleet owners already acquired selling service.

For SMG and KRAIBURG, important is that tire re-treading is helping environment protection, as burning old tires is heavy burden for environment.

Instead of burning tires we are giving them a new life, and like this several times.
