REIFEN is history in Essen

For the last time, the tyre trade fair took place in Essen and apart from all the business sense there was of course a lot of melancholy left behind. During the last decades, Messe Essen and the German Tyre Retailer and Vulcanization Trade Association (Bundesverband Reifenhandel und Vulkaniseur-Handwerk e.V. - BRV) as conceptual supporter wrote a success story. We express our deepest gratitude for this.
