Our Approach

Whether you are buying Bandags for your bus in Berlin or for your trailer in Trieste, you can count on exactly the same product, expertly produced and fitted to the same level of precision, at any of our more than 100 franchisees and more than 2.000 Bridgestone Partners located throughout Europe. Our standardised retreading process, executed by highly trained and experienced entrepreneurs, and continually audited by our own team of technical service engineers ensure that no matter where you are, a Bandag is always a Bandag.

Bandag retreads are produced exclusively by fully certified and continually audited Bandag Franchised Dealers according to the same uniform process.

Every Bandag retread is the result of each dealer’s expert application of the Bandag System, combining patented Bandag treads and cushion gum, proprietary Bandag equipment and Bandag’s highly advanced retreading process.

The Bandag European Education Centre provides state-of-the-art training to operators in the areas of casing analysis and the retread process itself.

Annual audits by our own in-house technical service engineers, compulsory training and Bandag’s ISO 9000 certification all form part of Bandag’s global Quality Certification System.

Bandag franchised dealers in the European Union comply with Regulation UN ECE109, which ensures every retread meets the same standards of quality and reliability as those applicable to new tyres.

Bandag’s extensive Truck Shop Manual documents the entire Exclusive Bandag EMEA Retreading Process in detail, guaranteeing reliable, predictable and consistent process and product quality regionwide.
