ROBOTIC BUFFER COMING TO THE U.S.

Italian equipment manufacturer TRM signs Shamrock Marketing to bring next generation retreading equipment to market

Rovereto (IT) – Italian retread equipment manufacturer TRM has developed a new line of automated retreading equipment for the U.S. market and signed an agreement with Shamrock Marketing, Inc. of Louisville Kentucky to be the authorized dealer. The new line, called “Latitude”, is built around a robotic style buffing machine that is designed to minimize process time, cut labor, and increase consistency in buff texture. The equipment line will be officially launched in March during the Mid-American-Truck-Show in Louisville, KY with live demonstrations at Shamrock’s facility.
