The Maxxis family and Kian Hon believe in the im-
portance of optimising the use of raw materials,
and in providing sustainable and cost-saving solu-
tions for fleet users. Thus, with the full support and
involvement of Maxxis, Kian Hon will construct a
tread rubber production line and will expand its
retreading plant in Penang, Malaysia, increasing

the plant’s production to 120,000 retreaded tyres annually when
running at full capacity.

By 2013, with the assistance of Kian Hon, reading plants in Indo-
nesia and the Philippines will be set up by local Maxxis partners.

This collaborative effort will constitute a total investment of USD
$20 million and will create 200 to 400 new jobs.

Kian Hon is proud to share its TBR and retread expertise and
expects this cooperation will further strengthen Maxxis’ market
share in Asia.

Malaysian Retreaders to Face Big Challenges

In Malaysia, retreads have long been part of the life cycle of the 大马翻新业者

“失去了价格竞争优势，在加上对翻胎先入为主

目前，据郑日勤指出，大马约有90家翻新公司，
东马与西马各占一半。这个数字，据他表示，和5
年前相比没有不同。虽然有几家新的翻新公司，
却也有几家旧的结束营运。

“来自新翻新业者的威胁不高，因为这是个艰难

Established in 1931 by two brothers-
Dyonis and Roman Hofmann, Hof-

balancing machines for industrial ap-
plications in its early days. In 1997,Hof-

Today, with more than 80 years of experience, Hofmann’s name
has been synonymous with quality and competence in garage
equipment, which is certainly an essential reason why Hofmann
machines and equipment have been approved and recom-
mended by many important car manufacturers.

Hock Lee brought in the I-geoliner Pro wheel alignment ma-

wheel alignment, to Malaysia recently.
