Marangoni Tread North America is celebrating 40 years of the Ringtread.

Marangoni introduced the first Ringtread (the splice-less retread) on April 27, 1976, in Ferentino, Italy. The product combined the no splice, double contour round shape, and precision control of dimensions of mold cure technology with precure tread manufacturing.

The American-made Ringtread was manufactured for the first time at the Madison Tennessee facility on April 27, 2004. Marangoni Tread North America has since produced and sold millions of Ringtreads.

“Today we celebrate 40 years of excellence and although the Ring of 40 years ago was a quality leap in retread technology, the Ring of today is even better,” Marangoni Tread North America CEO and President Bill Sweatman said to the Marangoni team. “Our new Extreme Performance line is setting new records for reliability, durability, mileage, traction, fuel economy, appearance and ride. I would also like to celebrate and recognize all of you for your continued commitment to manufacturing excellence”
