    The first "made in Holland" tire was unveiled by Magna Tyres CEO Michael de Ruijter and Rene de Vent, alderman municipality Hardenberg.

    HARDENBERG, Netherlands—Just six months after opening its off-the-road tire plant in Hardenberg, Magna Tyres Group has nearly doubled production capacity there in an effort to keep up with demand.

    Demand, Magna Tyres said in a news release, was particularly high for 26.5R25 and 29.5R25 OTR sizes.

    The Hardenberg operation started in January with the production of heavy-duty off-highway lines at the expanded OBO Tyres plant: the MA02 grader/loader line, M-Terrain articulated dump-truck line and AG24 agricultural line.

    The tire maker's 29.5R25 Magna MA02 is an E3+ / L3+ tire, designed for wheel loaders, dumpers, scrapers and bulldozers. Its features include wide shoulders for increased contact-surface, while the rubber compound is said to offer optimized resistance to damage and wear. The all-steel radial construction with improved belt layers contributes to improved comfort and heat build-up resistance.

    Magna Tyres described its 26.5R25 Magna M-Terrain as "an E4 tyre with a remarkably deep and robust profile." This tire is designed for heavy-dumper applications in day mines, excavations, scrap processing sites and for transports in underground mines.
