This new signing is also strategically important for us in giving a franchise presence in Northern Ireland after an absence of more than 25 years.\u201d<br \/>\nADCO is expected to see an immediate benefit in retread supply and casing management for Bridgestone fleet business in Northern Ireland, specifically the Ulster Bus contract.<\/p>\n<p>Terry added: \u201cWe are passionate in maintaining quality standards with a commitment to install Bandag 7400U Shearography and ADCO will play a pivotal role in this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe expect initial retread volumes to hit the 5,500 mark per year with a growth ambition to 8000 per year within the first franchise term.<\/p>\n<p>Bandag\u2019s ease in sourcing a regular supply of casings was also seen as a big factor for ADCO,\u00a0along with the strength of a European network.<br \/>\nIn 2007, Bridgestone acquired Bandag Incorporated, forming Bridgestone Bandag, LLC.<br \/>\nBy April 2008, the sales and marketing teams of Bridgestone Bandag, LLC and the truck and bus division of BSAM\u2019s subsidiary tyre company joined forces to deliver their fleet and dealer customers total tyre solutions as a single integrated package. The new group is known as Bridgestone Bandag Tire Solutions (BBTS).<br \/>\nToday, Bridgestone Bandag Tyre Solutions (BBTS) is a division of Bridgestone Americas Tyre Operations (BATO), allowing the two groups to better service their customers by offering a comprehensive tire maintenance solution backed by a complete line of new and retread truck tyre offerings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ADCO Retreads, based in Portadown, has decided to develop the business\u00a0by adding a Bandag partnership,\u00a0following a management buy-out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6134","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
