RALSON TIRES – ENGINEERED TO GO THE EXTRA MILE
Drawing on five decades of experience and the power of a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, Ralson, a global tire brand, is commited to providing world class TBR tires for truckers and fleet owners around the world. Ralson’s ultra-modern TBR tires manufacturing facility has a current production capacity of four million tires per year…with expansion plans. Ralson’s commitment to high quality TBR tires means lower fuel consumption and extended tire life, driving down the total cost of ownership for the trucking fleets and the owner operators.
Ralson has a proven track record in the global tire industry and currently supplies bicycle and automotive tires to more than 70 countries worldwide through the committed efforts of its 4,000 employees.
Ralson, started its journey in 1974 with the production of bicycle tires. Today, Ralson is one of the 5 largest bicycle tire producers worldwide. Ralson began production of automotive tires in 2000 and is now India’s fastest growing automotive tire brand.
Multiple factors help create a thriving commercial tire dealership, but satisfied customers are #1. Repeat customers and positive word-of-mouth are the lifeblood of a successful tire dealer. Dealers who sell Ralson will hear “I want more Ralson” from their customers due to an unbeatable combination of acquisition price and performance.
Tires represent the 2nd largest operating cost for fleets after fuel. Ralson TBR tires will deliver a competitive edge — outstanding performance and a lower total cost of ownership — to help fleets succeed in an increasingly tough business environment.
A Technology Advantage
Ralson has assembled a team of R&D engineers and rubber technologists responsible for some of the industry’s most renowned commercial tire tread patterns. They have been armed with the most advanced computer simulation and testing equipment. Before hitting the asphalt, Ralson tires endure a grueling gauntlet. Inside labs bristling with virtual simulation capabilities, each tread pattern is meticulously fine-tuned for ultimate performance. But the real battleground awaits at NATRAX, India’s world-renowned proving ground. From blistering heat to bone-chilling cold, every surface imaginable throws down the challenge. And Ralson tires? They emerge triumphant, honed to perfection to deliver unwavering grip, unparalleled mileage, and unmatched value for every trucker on the road.
The manufacturing process at Ralson’s new, highly advanced plant is the next key ingredient. From best-in-class extrusion equipment to RFID enabled bead preparation, the massive facility is consistently rolling out TBR tires of superior quality.
We tread far and wide globally. Ralson has best-in-class equipment sourced from leading manufacturers based out of the Netherlands, USA, Germany, Italy, Japan, France and many more countries.
The Ralson plant uses a nitrogen cure system instead of the hot water cure system deployed in many tire manufacturing facilities. The nitrogen cure system allows better control of the curing process which leads to greater tire uniformity. This means longer tire life and driver ride comfort for Ralson customers. The nitrogen process also benefits the environment by conserving water.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP
Environmental protection and sustainability were key objectives when the Ralson plant was designed and constructed.
- Thousands of tree saplings were planted in and around the premises.
- All effluents in Ralson Plant are recycled.
- Rain water is harvested, making the most out of Indian monsoons and steam; thereby reducing water consumption needs.
- A commitment to creating low rolling resistance tires reduces the carbon footprint
- Durable, sturdy casings facilitate more retreading, resulting in less tire carcasses in landfills.
