The retail chain will employ the technology of Bandag Tire Solutions to retread around 10,000 tyres every year.
Bridgestone plan to open its first Bandag store by the end of the year, and to spread the presence of the chain to 20 over the next three to four years. Each shop will be the subject of a 100 million yen investment. (Tyres & Accessories/Staffordshire, U.K.)
