Michelin
Retreading
INTRODUCING RECAMIC
Recamic is the name given to Michelin’s Cold Process
Technology for retreading Tyres. Michelin, a name
synonymous with Tyres & warranting no introduction,
manufactured its first retreaded tyre in 1920, and
ever since, Michelin has continued to perfect this
technology. The first Recamic plant was set up in
Geneva, Switzerland in 1993.
Today, there are over 70 Recamic Plants worldwide,
covering Europe, Asia, America, Austrial & the Middle
East. The plant in Kenya is the fourth in Africa.
Feeling the need to initiate a venture that would
boost the economic status of the country by creating
employment opportunities, Kingsway TyrExpert
Centre, in collaboration with Michelin, set up the
Recamic Plant in Nairobi, Kenya in 2001. Following a
higher market need in 2010, a bigger capacity retread
plant was established. Combining state-of-the-art
machinery with highly skilled manpower in an ultramodern plant, the technology will enable us to provide
excellent quality retreaded Tyres & related services to
our customers. And that too at an affordable rate!
All machines are computer
controlled to ensure precision
operations, and come with
built-in maintenance and
diagnostics
features.
A
250 KVA generator has
been installed to ensure an
uninterrupted power supply,
vital in guaranteeing the
quality of the end product.
An elaborate arrangement
for follow-up visits has been
worked out with the principals to ensure that the machinery
is always maintained at optimum performance conditions.
We have made sure to have experts from Michelin, France,
to provide training and work closely with the local staff in
Kenya, ensuring a well-trained and capable staff. The training
received by the team guarantees independent working of the
Kenya team, and more importantly, of continued consistency
of quality production. Test conducted on trial runs have
produced remarkable results and leave no doubt about the
equipment and technical expertise at the plant.
RECAMICMICHELIN RETREAD
TECHNOLOGIES
Recamic is a Cold Process that
uses Precured Michelin Treads
of the required pattern cut
to exact size as per specific
requirement. In addition, this
process can be done on any
brand or type of tyre casing!
Michelin assures that provided a casing is still good condition,
Recamic retreaded tyres are just as good as New Michelin
Tyres.
THE RECAMIC - RETREAD PLANT
ENTERPRISE RD. NAIROBI
The Recamic Plant is the first of its kind in Kenya.
Located on spacious grounds in Nairobi’s industrial area
on Enterprise, the plant is laid out to strict Recamic
– Michelin specifications, taking into account the
environment and workers’ safety as well as practicality,
convenience and aesthetics.
WHAT DOES THE
RECAMIC PROCESS ENTAIL?
Just as a doctor makes a diagnosis before treating his patients,
likewise, in the Recamic process, a full diagnosis of the tyre
is carried out to determine the extent of damage before the
retreading and the final ‘Curing’ attained.
