Oliver Rubber Does it Again
Oliver drives innovation with introduction of new tread feature
FINDLAY, OHIO, August 28, 2006 – COOPER TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY (NYSE:CTB) and its subsidiary Oliver Rubber Company, recently announced a new exclusive feature called VDi plus™ that has many valuable benefits that every transportation and logistics company can utilize. This feature appears in several of Oliver’s recently introduced precure tread designs, including the ULP-Drive and the ULP-Rib. VDi plus™ represents the next step of industry-changing innovations and provides benefits no other retread product in the industry can deliver.
Here’s how it works. VDi plus™ acts as a Visual Depth indicator plus a stone ejector. The result? A reduction in foreign material retention which decreases the usual stone drilling conditions and casing penetration issues that typically occur in the trucking industry. With easy visual tread depth gauging, the fleet operations budget planning process is enhanced, while allowing for better identification and enforcement of pull point requirements.
With a broad product line and top field sales professionals, Oliver can provide the products and support to help your fleet run efficiently. As one of the oldest retreaders in the world and a manufacturer of both precure and mold cure retreading products in the United States, Oliver understands profitability is the key to success.
