Adco began manufacturing retread tyres
in 1956, primarily passenger tyres in the hot cure process.
Eleven years later we started producing both hot and pre-cured
truck tyre retreads, switching solely to the pre-cured method
in 1983, and to the present day.
Retreads are manufactured by Adco to the
highest standards and specifications with particular attention
paid to detail. The materials we use in the retreading process
are all of the highest quality, from treads to repair units.
To reinforce Adco's comitment to quality, the company became
a member of the RMA (Retread Manufacturers Association) in
1989.
As an independent retreading producer, we can purchase any
of the highest quality retreading materials available, and
attention to consistent quality has always been our primary
concern.
This point is endorsed by the fact that Adco Distributors
(NI) began producing retreaded tyres for Bridgestone/Firestone
UK in 1996 following the strictest acceptance criteria.
On the 1st January 2004 Adco attained ECE Regulation 109 for
Commercial Vehicles Retreads and is also iso registered.
Based at the Seagoe Industrial Estate in Portadown, Co Armagh,
we consider ourselves to be a truly environmentally friendly
company.
Remember, RETREADING
IS RECYCLING! Every time you buy and use a retreaded
tyre, you help to conserve our valuable natural
resources and since retreaded tyres are always
less expensive than comparable new tyres, you
save money while helping the environment.
This is truly a win-win situation.
Retreads are environmentally friendly. Tyres
are basically petrochemical products. It takes 22 gallons of oil to manufacture one new truck tyre.
Most of the oil is found in the casing, which is reused in the retreading
process. As a result, it takes only 7 gallons of oil to produce a retread.
