Newest Marangoni Ringtread dealer hosts open house

Sumerel Tire Service expanded its operations in Tennessee with the opening of Wilson County Tire & Retreading in Lebanon, this summer. The Marangoni retread facility recently hosted an open house on July 23.

The open house featured a plant tour, “Spot the Retread” contest and an “Out of Service” tire demonstration. Guests were also provided lunch and could enter a drawing for the chance to win a set of eight commercial truck tires or four super singles to be retreaded using the Ringtread system on the winner’s own casings.

The plant was filled with a variety of guests that learned about retreading using the Ringtread system technology. Guests included fleets, local and state government officials, and local as well as national media.

Marangoni and Wilson County Tire associates guided guests on a step-by-step tour that explained the process of creating a retreaded tire from delivery to finish using the Ringtread system. Each station provided additional video demonstrations along with explanations from guides.

In addition to retreading, Wilson County Tire & Retreading also offers a mounted-wheel program, drive-up service, and pickup and delivery.
