TPMS-Maker Gets Staff TIA Trained

(Akron/Tire Review) Sixteen Schrader Bridgeport International employees – from sales, marketing, engineering, manufacturing, training and customer service – have been trained and certified as Automotive Tire Service Instructors by TIA.

 
“We’re proud that Schrader is the first TPMS manufacturer to make TIA Technician Certification available to their customers,” said Kevin Rohlwing, TIA senior vice president of training. “Servicing current and future model vehicles with TPMS requires specialized training and technicians who are TIA Certified have the knowledge and skill to prevent damaging or disabling the system.”
 
“With TPMS-equipped vehicles now appearing in increasing number in tire shops, we want to make available as many qualified training personnel as possible to help our customers understand and profitably service TPMS systems,” said David Weber, TPMS product manager for Schrader. “Distributors and technicians who would like to find out more about obtaining instruction should contact their Schrader sales representative.”
