“While working for another company several years ago, I managed a project and got to see firsthand the Ringtread product,” said Armstrong. “I came away from that experience in awe of the Ringtread concept and its performance achievements. I am excited about this opportunity to lead this great organization.”

Sweatman started in the tire industry in 1977 and the retreading industry in 1984. He moved to Marangoni in 2002.

“The industry has been very good for me and my family and I would like to thank the employers, peers, customers, suppliers, and friends for this experience and I wish all well,” said Sweatman.
