AcuTread
AcuTread – a tire remanufacturing system for the independent tire company owner. The AcuTread remanufacturing process provides unprecedented profits and control to those who desire to follow their own path in the tire industry. The AcuTread process uses leading edge technology to produce remanufactured tires that parallel the specifications, aesthetics, and performance of new tires. AcuTread provides large exclusive territories where you will freely compete against all competitors except another AcuTread product. AcuTread will make you profitable by giving you control over the manufacturing process instead of being an assembly point for someone else’s rubber. So if profits are down, stress is up, and your competition is selling the same retread you do call Jon Langerak at 616-878-0518.
