As part of that change, Bergey’s installed new production equipment, including a Marangoni Ringtread system featuring the Ringbuilder 3000 – only the second unit installed in the world.

“We made this investment to reduce costs, improve efficiency and strengthen our organization for the future,” said Duane Bergey, president. “It has been a tremendous success. We have been retreading for over 60 years, and my father, Lester, instilled in our business the value of implementing the latest retreading technology. Our customers have always benefited from our progressive investments; our growth depends on it.”

Ascot Supply Corporation, based in Newnan, Georgia, has selected Mark Paquette for the newly created position of vice president. In this position, Ascot Supply said Paquette will oversee the growth of the company's products, corporate profitability, manage marketing and advertising and assume many other responsibilities.

He will work under the direction of current President David Kessler and officially begin his new role on June 3. Paquette joined the tire and automotive industry in the early 1980s at his father's tire shop, and his contributions to Mohawk Rubber Sales were instrumental in the company's growth and eventual sale to Myers Tire Supply in 2021, according to Ascot Supply. Paquette eventually was given a promotion to the role of director of operations at Myers Tire Supply.
