"GLOBAL RETREADING CONFERENCE" as part of THE TIRE COLOGNE 2022

The "Global Retreading Conference" (GRC) had a very successful start at the leading global industry trade fair "The Tire Cologne 2018".

After the corona-related cancellation of the follow-up trade fairs, the European retreading association BIPAVER in cooperation with Koelnmesse made the next GRC again what it already was in 2018: An international industry event for the retreading sector, offering a global platform for exchanging views on relevant topics.
