What is the historical background of the show?
In 1994, Rubber & Plastics News set out to create a conference and exhibition that was focused on what happens in the manufacture of tires…what’s the science, the technology, and the manufacturing involved in producing a tire. That segment of the tire industry wasn’t being served. The vision was to eventually evolve into an all-encompassing show embracing all aspects of the tire industry from cradle to grave. The 2010 event will include the aftermarket part of the business: tire retailers, tire dealers, OTR and the commercial parts of the business.
