Richard Pieris Tyre Company, pioneer in the tyre retreading business, felicitated more than 200 of its dealers in the North Western region at Seasons Hotel Kurunegala recently. Dealers were briefed on new products and the business approach during the convention.

The company has a distribution network of 1300 outlets across the country and four decentralised factories located in Nawinna, Kandy, Kurunegala and Weligama. Regional conventions are held each year to encourage the dealer community.

The Annual dealer convention recognises best performers and also is an event where dealers meet and bond in fellowship and camaraderie.

The awards were made under the two divisions Trading and Re-Trading. Ten top performers from the Re-Trading category and 3 from the Trading category were felicitated.

The chief guest, Director/General Manager Richard Pieris Tyre Company Pushpika Janadheera said "we believe company growth should be reflected by our dealer strength as well. We strive to produce high quality products and market the same economically to cater to our customers' needs.

Though the price of rubber is increasing steadily, Arpidag products remain unaffected through better management of resources. We have identified the needs of our valued dealers and we will continue to add value for both our dealers and our customers".

The company established in 1940 has become the largest retreader in Asia. In 1991 the Company entered into a collaboration with Bandag Incorporation USA to commence the procured tyre trading for the first time in Sri Lanka introducing the revolutionary 'Arpidag' brand in the country.
