Continental and Quality Tire Open Retread Facility in Western Canada

Continental Tire and Quality Tire Service LTD, the largest independent tire dealer in Saskatchewan, have announced the opening of the first commercial tire retread facility in western Canada.

The new location will operate as a ContiLifeCycle™ facility, which is the umbrella for Continental Tire’s retreading operations. The 17,400 square-foot-facility employs 15 people and has the capacity to produce up to 24,000 retreads per year. The plant is outfitted with new equipment and includes the latest technologies for manufacturing retreads exclusively for the province of Manitoba and Saskatchewan and will service more than 200 customers.

“Growing our ContiLifeCycle distribution across Canada is our most important objective,” said Paul Williams, Continental’s executive vice president for commercial vehicle tires in the Americas. “Partnering with service focused distributors like Quality Tire Service LTD in an effort to reduce overall driving costs to our fleet customers will be what drives mutual success of both dealers and fleets.”

The Saskatoon facility is the first of many ContiLifeCycle™ plants planned for the region and is a key component of Continental Tire’s aggressive growth strategy for ContiLifeCycle™ in Canada.
