China's Guilin Rubber to supply machinery for Turkish tire maker
ChemChina-owned Guilin Rubber Machinery has announced an order contract with an unnamed Turkish-based tire company.
The company said it is to provide "dozens of vulcanizing machines for the construction of the second phase of their new tire production line."
Guilin Rubber Machinery will provide equipment to the Turkish customer "mainly based on OTR and TBR vulcanising machines," ChemChina said in a news release.
According to Guilin, the machines have already been developed based on market demand and user characteristics. The company said it has also carried out "customized debugging and optimization" for the application scenarios of its Turkish customer.
This will be Guilin's fifth collaboration with the customer, the first of which started in 2013, Guilin has said.
After the delivery of machinery, Guilin said it will be providing after-sales care and training to help a smooth launch of the production line.
