Brityrex forges ahead for bumper show in October Brityrex International 2012, Event City, Manchester, 9 -11 October 2012 Brityrex International at EventCity, Manchester in October is shaping up to be an exhibition the industry can be really proud of. With high profile exhibitors continuing to sign up for the show on a regular basis, organiser ECI International has also confirmed a number of other exciting developments. Visitors will be able to take advantage of a series of free technical seminars presented by highly qualified experts, covering topical industry subjects. On the opening day of the show, Tuesday, 9 October, Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) and Tyre Labelling will be the focus of attention, as both will be subject to new legislation in the near future. Three sessions on Wednesday 10th will cover Retreading, TPMS and changes to the tyre repair standard BSAU159G, while on Thursday 11 October the Tyre Labelling seminar will be repeated. All sessions will include time for Questions and Answers. Organised by show sponsor the NTDA in conjunction with the Tyre Industry Federation, the seminars will provide invaluable expert advice and information in a practical, handson environment. Brityrex is also hosting a dedicated Retreading Pavilion to showcase the latest and best in car tyre retreading. Among the first companies taking advantage of the concept are Italian retreader Malatesta Pneumatici , Spanish retreader Insa Turbo and Portugal’s Recauchutagem Nortenha S.A. Car tyre retreading will also be represented in the main Brityrex exhibition hall by Polish manufacturer Profil. For many visitors the main attraction will be suppliers of new tyres covering applications for all market sectors. A wide range of exciting brands from around the world will be on display, including Westlake, Infinity, Kleber, Matador, Cooper, Uniroyal Truck Tyres, Ling Long, Aeolus, Antyre, Admiral, Marshall, Infinity, Jinyu, Rotalla and many others.

First time exhibitor Vortex™ Exhaust Technology aims to simplify the Exhaust Market, reduce stockholding and bring additional revenue streams to Garages and Fitting Stations. Remember the good old days when a few exhaust parts covered the vast majority of the cars that required a new exhaust. Well, they are back. All that is needed is a new approach and the stocking of a revolutionary patented product – The Vortex™ exhaust. Capable of being fitted to almost anything with an internal combustion engine Vortex™ exhausts can enable fitters to deal with around 99% of all vehicles coming through the door, with very little stock investment. Vortex is not a range of “freeflow” silencers, nor is it a “me-too” replacement for the original equipment or aftermarket product already on the car. In fact it’s not like a conventional silencer at all. The Vortex™ products really are unique. The clever, patented internal designs of the Vortex™ exhaust creates a turbine effect inside the silencer, causing a vacuum which literally sucks gases out of the engine allowing it to breathe more easily, and burn fuel more efficiently. As a result all Vortex™ exhausts are guaranteed to deliver more power and more torque, yet at the same time reduce emissions and, best of all, will reduce fuel consumption, typically by around 7%-10%! And all without any re-mapping required! Vehicles fitted with Turbo chargers suffer noticeably less turbo-lag once a Vortex™ is fitted and the smoother running engines (turbo or non-turbo) always deliver fuel economy improvements. From boy racer to family car, van, pick-up, 4WD or classic car Vortex has a range that will suit all-comers. The ability to weld stainless steel is a must, and installers must have a pipe bender as all Vortex™exhausts are custom built. With no need to hold massive stocks – a few Vortex™ exhausts can cover many applications – and with full training given to would-be Vortex dealers, a revenue opportunity is there for those that want to take it. Garages and fitting stations looking for new revenue streams could do a lot worse than take a fresh look at the exhaust market. www.vortex-performance-exhausts.co.uk

Brityrex focus for Matador Truck & Bus Radial sales drive from KRT Brityrex will form a major part of Kings Road Tyres’ (KRT) plans to promote sales and awareness of Matador Truck and Bus Radial (TBR) tyres in the UK this autumn. KRT became the exclusive suppliers of the range in late 2011 and has identified Matador’s 87-year tyre manufacturing heritage and reputation for quality as key factors, as it seeks to boost sales. A new website covering the full portfolio of Matador truck and bus applications for Regional and Long Haul, Mixed Service, City Urban and Winter fitments is now live at www.matadortyres.co.uk “Matador is an exciting brand with a great deal going for it,” says Tim Bader, KRT’s purchasing and marketing manager. “Not only is it a member of the Continental Group, which speaks volumes about its commitment to high quality products, but it also has a comprehensive range of competitively priced tyres covering all major commercial market sectors. “One of the points we’ll be emphasising at Brityrex is that as a mid-range product, all tyres are both regroovable and retreadable, delivering extra performance and value for money to end users,” explains Tim. Matador traces its tyre-making heritage back to 1925 and is now part of Continental AG; all products continue to be manufactured in Europe and the company has its base in Puchov, Slovakia. Matador is also committed to environmental protection. The company aims for continuous improvement in all activities to reduce environmental impact. It holds the ISO14001certificate of environmental management and was the first company in the Czech and Slovak Republic to meet the ISO 9001 standards for car tyre production.
Haweka Provide Cost Saving Solutions at Brityrex International Haweka UK, the world’s leading independent manufacturer of wheel balancing accessories and commercial vehicle alignment equipment, are showing their comprehensive range at Brityrex International. The Haweka stand will showcase the company’s complete range of commercial vehicle alignment equipment including the all-new Axis 4000. This fully computerised system can now include a complete data set of truck wheel alignment settings to enable real time comparison of actual readings against manufacturers specifications. The greatest advantage of the Haweka range is speed. There is no other wheel alignment machine that allows the operator to measure a twin axle semi-trailer in 10 minutes. The Haweka range is able to do this thanks to its patented wheel clamps, which are attached to the wheel rim by means of powerful magnetic feet (with additional grab arms for aluminium rims) and the measurement can begin immediately. These unique clamps are used on all Haweka aligners. John Pullin of Haweka UK said: “In today’s tough economic climate the importance of correct vehicle alignment cannot be over emphasised. The 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. A one degree misalignment on one axle could increase fuel consumption by around 5%.” To view the new generation of wheel balancing accessories and discover how to reduce the running costs of your commercial fleet visit Haweka UK at Brityrex International on stand number 53 or go to www.haweka.co.uk

Profil� deals with production and wholesale of retreaded car tires for all types of cars: personal, delivery and off-road ones, in many sizes and many patterns of the tread, both winter and summer types. The treading, also called the regeneration, consists in placing a new layer of the tread on the tire and strengthening the tire sides. The final product is a tire whose parameters do not differ from the parameters of a new tire (equally durable) and which is in fact more preferred in the world taking into consideration environment protection (recycling) The “Profil� company regenerates mainly tires for personal, delivery and off-road cars, in typical sizes: 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 inch ones, as they are the most popular sizes on the market. The technology of producing the treaded tire and the tire itself are characterized by high quality, durability and good use, which is especially important taking into account the safety of driving. Apart from the abovementioned features, it has much lower price than the new tire. Our company buys the highest quality products from well-established producers of rubber mixes and from foreign tire providers. Since the beginning of its operation the “Profil� company has paid special attention to the quality of produced tires. A number of tests carried out before and after the regeneration allows us to produce a faultless tire which is ready to be used. www.profil-zro.com.pl

Winning the NTDA TAFF Tyre & Aftermarket Supplier of the Year award has brought even more attention to the technical expertise of our TPMS programme. As we are progressing with our training programmes all across the UK we are receiving more and more positive feedback about the expertise we are able to demonstrate and share with our customers. The response has been greatly appreciated by everyone involved with Autogem. A common theme has been the ability of tyre traders and garages to not only retain business which would have been lost without the right equipment, but to also maximise the tools for greater revenues. In 2011 we were predominantly informing customers about our programme, so far in 2012 we have been in full swing training them. This support will be supplemented by the introduction of further technical TPMS product in the coming months. In addition to this we are excited about presenting ourselves for the first time at the Reifen Show in Essen, Germany where we will be demonstrating some of the training techniques that have allowed our programme to be recognised as award winning. Reifen will be followed a few months later with what we hope will be another excellent show at Brityrex, Manchester between the 9th and 11th October. All in all 2012 is looking like another busy year for Autogem where we will be exhibiting at 8 shows and dedicating 25-30 evenings to training and educational courses for our customers. Our mantra remains, think TPMS think Autogem. www.autogemconcepts.com
