Solideal hikes prices
Luxembourg

Solideal Group has increased prices on all of its tyres.

Earlier this year, Solideal increased prices due to increasing costs of raw materials. It says in a statement it is forced to recover some of the recent cost increases by price hikes.

"Supervisors spend a significant time with their operators. It made sense for Crown to develop a program that teaches supervisors what to look for in safe operator performance," says Ron Brewer, manager of operator training.
