STARCO’s European Agricultural team will welcome visitors right across Michelin’s superior stand, in hall 3, where the group of experts will present both in-house developed and manufactured products and discuss how the wheel and tyre can improve the performance of different applications. 30.08.2017 More than just a sales-supplier-relationship 20 years have gone by since the first STARCO wheel was mounted on an Aebi vehicle. The relationship has gone from a standard sales-supply relationship to a partnership characterised by joint development of products and continuous improvement of an integrated supply chain. Recently an Aebi delegation visited STARCO’s steel wheel factory in Croatia to develop the relation further – this is one of the many events bringing the two parties closer together. 15.08.2017 Meet us at the Swiss forestry fair in Lucerne August 2017 STARCO will be amongst the 280 exhibitors in Lucerne joining the largest Swiss trade fair for forestry. STARCO displays unique, patented solutions for mounting dual wheels and flat-sided spikes for mowers to use in the characteristic alpine environment of Switzerland. 28.06.2017 Competing with China In recent years, the manufacturing industry in Europe was characterised by a wave of outsourcing and relocation to low-cost countries. Today, the trend is somewhat turning and we are seeing factories returning to Europe. Low labour costs are replaced with automation, high product quality, flexibility and short delivery times. The continued Chinese price pressure impacts STARCO’s competitiveness, yet the British STARCO factory manufactured record-breaking 46,000 tyres in June and orders keep rising. Why?
