Originally, the purpose of G8 was to procure various raw materials for the automobile tyre and tube industry in India and other parts of the world, but the scope of the business has expanded somewhat. As well as offering a range of synthetic and natural rubber, sourced mainly from Russia and India, G8’s products include five types of carbon black, chemicals used in tyre manufacturing, such as zinc oxide, sulphur and stearic acid among others and a range of tube valves. G8 also trades in metals, minerals (rock phosphate), fertilisers and commodities such as sugar.

Among the manufactured products offered by G8 is a range of tyres. These include agricultural (tractor front and drive), implement tyres, fork lift and industrial tyres. Tyres for LCVs, vans and Jeeps, golf and go-kart tyres, plus a range of tyres for two-wheel and three-wheel vehicles.

The main export markets for G8 include North and South America, the Middle East and the countries of the Pacific Rim. Products are backed up with marketing and customer relations support services. (Tyres & Accessories/Staffordshire, U.K.)
