Also, the iTrack 2 is a specialised technology that is a game changer for tyre safety, and ensures the efficient use of tyres, whilst maximising productivity for mining clients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to moving closer to existing mining customers and new potential customers (including Mokala Mine and East Manganese, to name a few) and thus reducing the distance for customers and improve service times, Bridgestone is also looking to enhance the working environment for employees and provide a better customer experience Furthermore, it hopes to increase its service offering (including wheel alignment for passenger vehicles) to the general public and customers from the mining industry.<\/p>\n<p>The Bridgestone Mining Solutions flagship store in Kathu seeks to be a trusted single-source supplier of integrated tyre management technologies and solutions, all built on a global heritage of off-the-road tyre performance and innovation.<\/p>\n<p>The R10 million investment in the new store is an operation of 15 highly skilled individuals, which is set to increase to 20 over the coming year, with a recruitment drive focused on wheel alignment technicians and tyre repair centre employees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the past year, we saw record demand and prices for gold, platinum, iron ore and even coal, with the industry exceeding expectations,\u201d Anton says. \u201cWith the economy coming out of a global pandemic, we anticipate even more demand, even as economies transition away from fossil fuels. This move will require resources that will come from resource-rich countries like South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs our customers in the industry ramp up their production, they will rely on service providers such as Bridgestone to deliver even better service offerings timeously, in order to ensure greater levels of productivity and reduced downtime,\u201d Anton adds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/mining-fleets-benefit-from-service-centre-relocation\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
