View(s):Unicorn Tyre Retreads (Pvt) Ltd is the newest player in tyre retreading market in Sri Lanka, commissioning two state-of-the-art tyre retreading plants recently at the industrial zone in Panaluwa, Watareka.

Unicorn Tyre Retreads (Pvt) Ltd Managing Director Asanga Ratnayake and many distinguished guests graced the occasion, the company said in a media release.
The two units at Lot 2F and Lot B of the industrial zone strictly adhere to the ‘green concept’ and are capable of retreading 6000 tyres in a month both in ‘Cold process’ and the conventional rebuilding method, ‘hot process’.
Unicorn’s core competency is to provide an exceptional tyre with an unmatched service at an affordable price to its customers. Now Unicorn retreaded tyres could be acquired via a network of dealers throughout the island, it said.
Mr. Ratnayake said at the inauguration ceremony, that Unicorn would be ready to retread 10,000 tyres a month by 2015. He said the workforce, sales force and the dealer network will be enhanced to achieve this objective.
“The specialty in the Unicorn tyre is its symmetric tread design which facilitates a greater grip with the road and a comfortable ride.
Facilitating long-mileage usage is another attribute of the product; hence the company backs the tyre with mileage limited tread wear warranty.Thus the vehicle owners will derive their money’s worth by using Unicorn tyres,” he added.Mr. Ratnayake said they are working on a new product to cater to off-road needs which, with an extra deep tread pattern, will be a top product in the industry
