ERJ staff report (LMH)

West Haven, Connecticut – Tire bladder maker Polymer Industrial Products (Pipco), has launched a new brand and website, which it says will support the company’s global expansion.

Pipco said in a 19 June news release that its increase in staff – in offices in Central America, South America, Europe, Asia and India – will allow the expansion of the company’s turn-up bladder trial programme, which aims to help tire plants increase cure rates.

The US-based company has three bladder supply options, which are suitable for both large and small quantities of of-sized bladders, Pipco said. It added that it also supplies low-volume tire sizes.

Commenting on the new brand and website, Tom Hughes, president of Pipco Worldwide, said, “Our sales and support programmes has been expanding rapidly and these new capabilities allow us to better support our customers around the globe.”
