On the stand
01
The full OTR patch range
Every size, in hand. Bring a photo of a damaged casing and we will tell you what we would put on it, and why.
02
The repairability tool, running live
Our free online assessment, on screen at the stand. Walk a real repair through it with us in about three minutes.
03
Distributor conversations
Pricing, margins, minimum orders, lead times and marketing support. We come with the numbers, not just a catalogue.
Try the tool before you visit
Is that OTR tyre repairable, or is it scrap?
Answer eleven questions about construction, injury location, cord condition, ply rating and prepared injury size. You get a verdict, the criterion behind it, and the correct patch size. Free, no registration, about three minutes.
We are looking for distribution partners
Automechanika Johannesburg is where we intend to appoint partners for South Africa, the wider SADC region and the Gulf trading corridor that supplies it. We would like to talk to you if you:
- Are based in South Africa, the SADC region, Dubai or the UAE, or have established supply access into African markets
- Run an existing distribution network in automotive, industrial or trading
- Have warehousing and stockholding capability
- Sell to retreaders, tyre service operations, mines, quarries or fleet workshops
- Are not already carrying a tyre patch line, and want a high margin category to add
- Are looking for a long term manufacturing relationship rather than a one off shipment
Prefer to start before the show? Send your details through the distribution opportunity page and we will have the pricing and terms ready when you reach the stand.
