                                   Swee Hing Tyres Invests in Precure Capacity
Malaysian retreader and tyre wholesaler Swee Hing Tyres has invested in a new Italmatic autoclave with a view to increas- ing capacity at its retread plant. According to Manag- ing Director Chuang Koon Seng, the new equipment was expected to be operational by the end of 2011 and was expected to result in a capacity increase at Tayar Celup Tanda Batu Sdn Bhd, the company’s retreading subsidiary. According to Chuang, Swee Hing currently produce between 2,500 and 3,000 retreads per month using both pre-cure and mould cure methods. The investment will increase capacity to 4,000 units per month.
Swee Hing is a significant regional tyre dealer in Jo- hor state. The company runs a network of tyre re- tail centres in the Johor Bahru area including 8 car tyre centres and a further two truck tyre centres, one of which is a Continental Bestdrive Centre and the other a Michelin centre. Tayar Celup Tanda Batu is based in Pasir Gudang, just outside Johor Bahru, which is near the port area and hence handy for the significant haulage and logistics business located in this area, located at the Southern tip of peninsular Malaysia.
According to Chuang’s son, Operations Manager Ch- uang Shin Yang Swee Hing’s retread operation pro- duces retreads under two brand names. Milestone, accounting for 25% of production, is the company’s premium retread brand. Says Chuang; “We are try- ing to push our premium brand as it provides the best cost per kilometre. However, we have to give the customer what he wants and for this reason, the remainder of production is made up of our economy brand. Hitex”.
According to Chuang Shin Yang, the company ex- pects its own wholesale business to be a major help in helping to increase retread sales. “Our expansion programme focuses on leveraging on our network first, primarily in Johor and Melaka. Our aim is to sup- ply high quality products and a good service on 24-7 basis. We have trained mechanics in our autocen- tres to provide a one-stop, comprehensive service to our customers. This includes fleet management and we carry out periodic inspections for our customers, measuring tread depth so we can provide regular cpk reports”.
Swee Hing uses Goodway and Eversafe rubber in its retreads.The company also sells a wide range of new truck tyres. The wholesale business is an official Continental/Sime dealer but also sells Yoko- hama, Goodyear and Michelin.
