Tyre manufacturer Tyron Runflat is set for a major increase in staffing having expanded its factory.
The company has a focus on products for clients including blue light and military vehicle fleets.
Speaking after the company attended the FEINDEF 2025 show in Spain, director Peter Simson said: “Following a number of new partnerships, we recently expanded our purpose-built manufacturing and testing facility near Pattaya, south of Bangkok in Thailand to meet growing demand. This investment allows us to more than double our production capacity and the size of our team is set to grow three-fold this year.
“At our Leicestershire headquarters we have also welcomed its latest specialist hire with Beata Sleightholme joining the team as logistics and administration operative.
“We continually look for new and innovative ways to drive our business forward and develop our strategic approach.”
Business development director Mohamed Elnady said: “We have made it our mission to provide reliable and cost-effective tyre safety solutions. For example, the Tyron MultiBand locks the tyre onto the wheel rim in the event of a blowout, preventing catastrophic loss of control, giving the driver and passengers the ability to get to a safe location.
“Our products are supplied throughout the world for the police force, fire and ambulance services plus military armed vehicles, civilian cars and leisure vehicles, plus commercial vehicles.”
