With the occurrence and evolvement of world financial crisis, world tire industry has been greatly threatened. The consumption for automobile has greatly decreased, thus resulting in the decrease of production volume of tire. As the largest tire exporter in the world, China replies much on its tire export. In this case, due to the sharp decrease of external demand, many small and medium-sized enterprises will face profit reduction, inventory increase and capital shortage, thus leading to bankruptcy.However, the crisis also cultivates many opportunities. The decrease of oil and raw material price has lowered the production cost pressure of tire corporations. Meanwhile, the increasing domestic vehicle ownership rate also maintains the increase of tire demand. What’s most important is that the crisis avails Chinese tire corporations of the opportunity to realize that though China’s tire production and rubber consumption volume rank top in the world, the tire products produced by most Chinese tire manufacturers lag behind those world leading tire corporations such as Michelin, Bridgestone, Goodyear etc by means of quality, safety, technology, environment-friendly performance etc. Nowadays, “Safety” and “Environmental protection” are two forever tire technical themes. The congress will focus on the technologies regarding these two themes to enable tire corporations at home and abroad to exchange ideas, share experience and focus on cutting-edge technologies through the platform.

This integrated congress comprises two main highlights: conference and exhibitions. The exhibition will avail top exhibitors of unique opportunities to showcase a variety of products and equipments featuring raw materials used in tire manufacture, machinery for tire manufacture, tire inspection & testing equipment, intelligent sensors, simulation software, tire mold etc. The high-powered conference has been designed to provide decision makers and senior technical, R&D, purchasing, operation directors with the latest market trend, cutting-edge technology developed in the circle and strategic planning of competitors to have a comprehensive knowledge of market.

2009 Tire Technologies Congress will be your ideal one-stop solution to acquire latest industry information and further expand business in 2009.
