The reason for Liew Koon at the Tyrexpo Asia was to introduce a series of the company’s latest technological advancements in their retreading equipment.
Liew Koon Introduces New Range of Retreading Equipment
Liew Koon Marketing is the import and export division of the Liew Koon Group, which specialises in manufacturing and supplying complete tyre retreading plant machinery that covers all aspects of their market sector.
Tyreman spoke with Managing Director – Louis Liew Chee Weng, and he explained that the primary reason for exhibiting at the show was to introduce a series of the company’s very latest technological advancements in their unique range of retreading equipment. Liew explained, “Our in-house research and development division is constantly looking to evolve the ongoing quality of our equipment, and we have recently adapted and further increased the high quality of our products.
“Therefore, being at Tyrexpo Asia gives us the perfect opportunity to invite our established customers to visit our booth during the event to learn of our latest innovations first-hand. Over the course of the three day show we have been able to explain in detail how Liew Koon can now offer even higher quality equipment for future retreading requirements. At the same time we have even been able to meet potential new customers who have shown an interest in our product range.
When asked for his opinion of the retreading market sector in South East Asia at the moment, Liew pointed out that the market is certainly in a very slow and difficult position, and there has been a significant reduction in the amount of retreads being produced across SEA, which can be directly attributed to the Chinese tyre manufacturing industry’s infiltration of our regional market sector. He commented,” This unfortunate downturn has obviously led to a drop in our equipment sales in SEA, but we are extremely fortunate in having a global export trade, and for the moment the majority of our equipment range is being sold outside of SEA.
“There eventually has to be a solution to this situation, which is seriously affecting the market, but until the current Chinese tyre dilemma caused by anti-dumping tariffs is resolved, I feel it will continue to struggle.”
刘坤提升翻胎设备技术
刘坤行销是刘坤集团的进出口部门，专门制造和提供覆盖他们整个市场领域的完整轮胎翻新厂设备。
《轮胎世界》访问董事经理刘桎榕，他解释说，他们参展的主要目的是介绍该公司独特，采用最新技术发展而成的翻胎设备。他表示：“公司内部的研发部不断寻求改善我们的设备品质的方法，而我们最近做了一些改善和进一步提升了我们产品的品质。”
“因此，亚洲轮胎展为我们提供了一个完美的机会，让我们能够邀请我们现有的客户来参观我们的展位，看看我们的最新创新。在这3天的展会里，刘坤能够仔细地解释我们能够为未来的翻胎需求提供品质更高的设备。同时，我们还能与对我们的产品系列有兴趣的潜在客户见面。”
谈到他对目前东南亚翻胎市场的看法时，他指出现在的市场确实处于缓慢和困难的阶段，东南亚的翻胎产出大幅度下跌，这主要是因为中国所轮胎制造业正在渗透我们的区域性市场所致。他表示：“翻胎量的下跌，也导致我们在东南亚的翻胎设备销售下降，但我们很幸运地拥有全球出口贸易业务，目前我们的大部分设备销售到东南亚以外的国家。”
“当然，这最终需要一个解决方案，因为此番对市场的影响巨大。然而，除非中国轮胎反倾销事件获得解决，我认为我们将继续挣扎。”
