(Newswire.net — January 30, 2015) Potosi, MO — This past year has been a successful one for Purcell Tire & Rubber Company with the announcement of its ranking as the fourth largest retread company in the United States according to a survey conducted by Modern Tire Dealer in compiling its list of the top 100 retreader companies. The company has five retreading plants producing tires for delivery to dealers and customers throughout all of North America and Mexico.
“Everyone at the company is thrilled with the results of the Modern Tire Dealer survey. It serves as confirmation of the hard work that has gone into making Purcell Tire & Rubber Company a giant in the industry,” according to a company spokesman. “We are equally just as pleased at being recognized as the largest retreader of off-the-road tires.”
According to Modern Tire Dealer, based on the average amount of tread used in its operations, Purcell Tire easily earned the distinction of being the number one company in the OTR market. In the commercial tire dealer category of the Modern Tire Dealer survey, Purcell Tire emerged as number eight on the top 25 list for the U.S.
The growth of companies such as Purcell Tire & Rubber Company is the result of improvements in the design of tires for the commercial and OTR markets. The fact is that tires are designed to offer a service-life that outlasts the tread. The tire retreading process allow mining operations and other users of off-the-road tires to maximize the cost benefits of new tire designs by extending tread life at a cost that is half of that of a purchasing a new tire.
Representatives from Purcell Tire Company are available to provide additional information on the benefits of retread for commercial and OTR vehicles.
