New exhibitors add breadth and range to Brityrex’s aftermarket appeal
Manchester Central Exhibition Centre (G-MEX)
nap-On Equipment and Guizhou Tyre are two of the latest exhibitors to sign-up for Brityrex International. Snap-On is returning to Manchester with new Hofmann under-car products for the tyre and fast fit workshop. General manager Chris Behan says: “The name of the game has been to make existing equipment last as long as possible but the mood has now started to change and businesses are conscious that they need to invest to replace old equipment, but also to make sure they keep pace with OE tyre and wheel technology that has continued to move on despite the recession.” China’s Guizhou Tyre Co. is a first-time exhibitor at the show and currently best known in the UK for its Advance brand. Roger Preston, Guizhou’s technical consultant, says: “Guizhou is a major producer in China but our promotion within Europe and in the UK especially, has been relatively low-key. We have now taken the strategic decision to be more aggressive in our sales promotion and exhibiting at Brityrex will start to address that situation.” ECI managing director Paul Farrant, says: “The breadth, range and diversity of Brityrex exhibitors means that visitors can meet new suppliers from almost every area, from tyres and retreading to IT, recycling, tools, equipment and consumables.”

UK Environmental regulators choose Brityrex 2010 for major tyre trade campaign The Environment Agency, Scottish Environment Protection Agency and Northern Ireland Environment Agency are working together on new legislation affecting the tyre industry. They have chosen Brityrex as a major platform for an important tyre trade campaign to raise awareness about the new legislation covering the chemical make-up of tyres and retread rubber. With effect from the beginning of January this year new European REACH legislation states that extender oils shall not be placed on the market, or used for the production of tyres or parts of tyres if they contain more than the threshold limits of PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon). The restrictions also apply to the marketing of tyres and treads for retreading. Some PAHs can be extremely toxic when released into the environment, for example by being deposited on road surfaces during use. Both European manufacturers, importers and retailers need to comply with the new ruling; anyone found to be selling tyres containing PAHs above the restricted levels could be faced with enforcement proceedings. One of the problems for retailers and wholesalers will be that there is no visual test to determine the presence of PAH, which means they will need to be absolutely confident that their tyre suppliers are aware of and meeting the tighter standard. www.environment-agency.gov.uk

Pro-Align launch Hunter Alignment CodeLink Over the past 37 years Kings Road Tyres has developed into one of the UK’s leading national wholesalers, offering the trade an inventory covering the entire spectrum of product from the smallest implement tyre to the very largest and heaviest sizes for construction and earthmoving machinery. The company has always recognised the benefit of trade exhibitions and events and was one of the original supporters of the first UK tyre exhibition held at Earls Court, London in the late 1970s. Since then KRT has been a regular and committed backer of dedicated tyre exhibitions in the UK and overseas. Group managing director Peter Gaster explains why: “We place great importance in building personal relationships with our customers and the best way of doing that is by meeting them in person and understanding their needs. It’s never been easier to communicate efficiently with advances in business technology, but there is still no substitute for face-to-face contact. That’s why our sales staff from around the UK and Ireland will be involved throughout the exhibition, giving them and our customers a chance to meet.” Looking back to the last Brityrex in 2007, Gaster says KRT enjoyed a very successful show: “In particular, 2007 proved that the visitors who attended Brityrex were all professionals who were there to do business. It’s sometimes difficult to quantify what you actually gain in sales terms from an exhibition, but we certainly achieved very buoyant sales during the show as well as follow up business from contacts we made during the event.” And he is equally enthusiastic about the prospects for Manchester in 2010. “I believe the show will come back stronger next year as the trade emerges from recession and looks to meet new customers and source new products. It’s important that as an industry we recognise that Brityrex is our show and it’s up to us as the main players in the industry to get behind it and make it work hard to deliver results that will benefit individual businesses and the trade at large.” KRT will be exhibiting a comprehensive range of products at the show, including its exclusive Kingstone brand and other well known makes. www.krtgroup.com
Puncturesafe UK have traditionally sold into the high speed vehicle markets because our tyre sealant is so technically advanced it has been possible for us to do this without any serious competition. Because of the high quality and performance of our puncture prevention treatment which gives a permanent seal for the life of the tyre we were able to win an exclusive contract to supply Royal Mail Group for their 32,000 vehicle fleet, and when that contract expired it was quickly renewed with a new contract for a longer period of 3 years. Puncturesafe UK have identified a gap in the market of slow speed vehicles such as agriculture, grass cutting, materials handling, construction/building, ancillary, military, caravans and trailers, so using the knowledge acquired in the very demanding high speed vehicle market we have developed a very effective extra heavy duty “off road” grade that out-performs everything else that is currently available. Knowing that this new market is sensitive to price because of the cheap ineffective products that have dominated it for so many years, we have introduced our new grade at a price so low it will guarantee we will become the market leader in the shortest possible time. This new off road grade is supplied in 5 and 20 litre containers with dispensing pumps, plus 2 litres boxed for DIY installations. Why 2 litres? The industry standard “one litre’ is not enough to do an effective job in the majority of applications because of under installing. Why in a box? The absence of installation figures and full instructions with un-boxed products causes’ confusion and uncertainty, leading to incorrectly and under-installed product, which is one of the causes of failure with other sealants. Puncturesafe seals punctures caused by puncturing objects up to 12mm in diameter and because it is water soluble it can easily and quickly be removed from a tyre. www.puncturesafe.com
There are currently vehicles on our roads that require the Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) to be reset after an alignment service. These include models in Audi, BMW, Lexus, Chevrolet, Mini, Toyota and VW ranges and up until now this has only been achievable using an OE calibration tools at the dealership. Pro-Align are pleased to announce the arrival to the UK of ‘CodeLink’ a SAS resetting tool that will enable independent workshops to carry out the procedure after conducting an alignment with the Hunter HawkEye WA imaging system. CodeLink recalibrates the vehicles Steering Angle Sensor, to match the final alignment angles of the vehicle, this ensure the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) functions properly. By 2012 all new vehicles will be manufactured with ESC, so many will require a SAS reset. Failure to perform the SAS reset procedure, as required by the motor manufacturer, may cause several conditions that could result in comebacks. The Hunter’s CodeLink reset procedure is quick and easy. The OE’s own calibrations procedures can be rather cumbersome, but CodeLink has standardised and simplified the whole process. This is making it an ideal additional service and revenue opportunity for the independent workshop. In the few months since its launch in America, CodeLink has already become an Award winner. However, more importantly, Hunter are finding the early sales indicate CodeLink is becoming ‘the’ deciding factor in the purchasing process, (over and above other alignment equipment brands), as independent retail outlets recognise that the Hunter HawkEye Imaging System with CodeLink, offers a second level to the Four Wheel Alignment servicing process and an opportunity to increase alignment service revenue substantially further. www.pro-align.co.uk

UKAS Acknowledges Norbar Expertise Another first time exhibitor at Brityrex will be Chinese tyre manufacturer Guizhou Tyre Co, best known for its Advance brand. The company is a major producer of nonhighway tyres, including OTR, agricultural and industrial, but also supplies truck and commercial ranges to export customers throughout the world. Roger Preston, Guizhou’s technical consultant, says that “Brityrex will be an important stepping stone to greater brand awareness in the UK market. Guizhou is a major producer in China and we believe that having over 1000 lines in six categories of tyres allows us to offer the UK market a complete tyre package of Highway and Non highway tyres . One of the benefits that Guizhou can offer is mixed tyre categories within the same container from a single source. The promotion of our brands within Europe and in the UK especially has been relatively low key in the past . We have now taken the strategic decision to be more aggressive in our sales promotion across Europe in general and in particular the UK market . Exhibiting at Brityrex will start to address that situation and we look forward to introducing our products and capabilities to distributors and dealers in Manchester”. www.advancetyre.com

The Norbar Torque Tools calibration laboratory in Banbury, Oxfordshire has achieved an extended level of endorsement from the government recognised United Kingdom Accreditation Service, being awarded UKAS accreditation for performing calibrations to 108,500 N.m of torque under BS7882: 2008. Norbar offers an extraordinary range of independently accredited capabilities that very few laboratories in the world can match, now extending from over 100,000 N.m for projects such as measuring torque for fasteners on massive oil and gas pipelines down to 0.005 N.m for delicate scientific calibrations. Managing Director Neill Brodey explains that precision engineering expertise is at the core of all its manufactured products and equipment. “We put the same level of consistent quality and accuracy into a 200 N.m Norbar torque wrench as we employ in more specialised equipment. Users across all sectors from vehicle aftermarket to mining can have total confidence that our products are fully fit for purpose as calibrated. Our range of experience in torque means that our technical consultation, service and support are second to none.” Norbar calibrates and recalibrates both its own equipment and that of competitors to international standards. The laboratory was previously accredited for up to 6,800 N.m with a traceable, non accredited service to 100,000 N.m. The greatly increased calibration range provided by the new UKAS accreditation is a tribute to its capabilities. Based in the USA, Australia, New Zealand, China and Singapore as well as the UK, Norbar demonstrates consistently strong performance as a manufacturer and exporter of torque equipment. The company also manufactures much of its own tooling for production and its testing equipment can be found in other engineering laboratories throughout the world. www.norbar.com

The UK arm of Haweka, the world’s leading independent manufacturer of wheel balancing accessories, are showcasing their comprehensive range of wheel balancer adapters and accessories at Brityrex 2010. Developed using over 40 years of industry experience Haweka products lead the market. The Haweka stand will also feature the company’s comprehensive range of Commercial vehicle alignment equipment including the all-new Axis 4000 fully computerised machine. The greatest advantage of the Haweka range is speed. There is no other wheel alignment machine that allows the operator to measure a 2-axle semi-trailer tractor in 10 minutes. The Haweka range is able to do this thanks to its patented laser measuring head which is attached to the wheel rim by means of powerful magnetic feet (with additional grab arms for aluminium rims) and the measurement can begin immediately. John Pullin of Haweka (UK) said that in today’s tough economic climate the importance of correct vehicle alignment cannot be over emphasised. Our equipment makes it possible for the commercial vehicle owner / operator to easily and quickly unlock the savings available from reduced fuel consumption and tyre ware. Vehicle operators are very much aware of the importance of alignment and we are finding that more and more tyre dealers are investing in commercial alignment equipment as it provides an additional high revenue stream. www.haweka.co.uk
