ERJ staff report (LMH)
Brussels - Bridgestone Europe will roll out a new round of price increases for retread materials across Europe during the first quarter of 2012.
Starting from 1 March and varying from country to country, price increases will average 10 percent for Bridgestone and Bandag pre-cured tread products, and 8 percent for Bandag cushion gum products.
