There's still time to register for the June 6 Rubber News Live webcast on "Redefining Performance: Meeting new expectations for tire design, manufacturing in North America."
The livestream event will be presented live at 2 p.m. Eastern on June 6 and will feature special guest David Poling, vice president of research and development and technical services at Giti's Tire R&D Center North America Inc.
Free registration for the webcast, sponsored by Endurica, is available on Zoom or at rubbernews.com/events. If you can't watch it live, it will be available for all registrants to watch the recorded version at a later time.
Poling and Rubber News Editor Bruce Meyer will discuss the topic of tire manufacturing in North America in a one-on-one format.
Giti opened its first U.S. tire factory in 2017 in Richburg, S.C., and has emphasized the importance of having a "Made in America" product as it looked to grow its business in North America since then.
During the Rubber News Live event, Meyer and Poling will talk about Giti's factory in Richburg; why it's important to invest in North America; industry trends such as larger rim tire diameters; the growth of the all-season/all-weather segment; how important it is to leverage R&D expertise; and the impact of the electric vehicle trend, among other topics.
Live viewers also will have the opportunity to ask questions during the webcast.
