Also meeting the guidelines of the European standard, ECE 108\/109, tyres repaired with TECH\u2019s Uni-Seal Ultra repairs outlast the life of a tyre as they are permanently filled by the stem and strengthened by a thick, non-fabric-reinforced rubber cap.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0The event also welcomed the opportunity for Alan to catch up with one of TECH\u2019s long serving distributors <\/span>TechPlus Ltd<\/a><\/span> who were also in attendance. As a key partner of TECH Europe since 1993, TechPlus have built a strong reputation throughout Ireland as an industry leader, offering the highest quality products, expertise, service and support, while advocating for safety and training in the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding=”0|0px|27px|0px|false|false” _builder_version=”3.0.48″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.21.1″ z_index_tablet=”500″]<\/p>\n TECH realises that the key to proper tyre repair goes beyond having high quality TECH tyre repair products. Equally important is the knowledge and skill set to perform a repair as properly trained technicians not only promote tyre safety but also help increase efficiency, protect the environment and reduce costs. That\u2019s why training remains a key priority within TECH Europe. With a newly renovated and expanded training centre, TECH continues to offer a comprehensive training curriculum combining both classroom and hands on training. Specialised tyre repair courses are offered which incorporate the latest tyre repair techniques recommended by the leading tyre manufacturers with a goal to T<\/u><\/em><\/strong>each E<\/u><\/strong>ach C<\/u><\/strong>ustomer H<\/u><\/strong>ow<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n To learn more about TECH\u2019s training courses, please click here<\/span><\/a> or email techeurope@trc4r.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.48″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/techseamain.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/TECH-Europe-ITIA-Training-1.jpeg” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ z_index_tablet=”500″]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/techseamain.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/TECH-Europe-ITIA-Training-2.jpeg” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ z_index_tablet=”500″]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ custom_padding=”28px|0px|54px|0px|false|false”][et_pb_row custom_padding=”0|0px|40px|0px|false|false” _builder_version=”3.0.48″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.21.1″ z_index_tablet=”500″] Last week, our European Business Development Consultant, Alan Bithell, attended the Irish Tyre Industry Association’s (ITIA) regional meeting, delivering an in-depth presentation on the importance of training in the tyre repair industry as a way of ensuring safety and efficiency.
