This move will enable Michelin to help maximise the agronomic and economic performance of
\nfarmers whilst protecting their most precious asset, the soil. It also heralds the transition of Michelin
\nAgriculture from simply manufacturing agricultural tyres to being a total solutions provider for all
\naspects around and beyond the tyre\u2019s interaction with the ground. <\/p>\n
PTG was founded in 1991 by Martin Tigges and employs 12 people at its headquarters in Neuss, Established in 1993 by St\u00e9phane Fazekas, T\u00e9l\u00e9flow is based in Roanne, France, and employs 39 Hot on the heels of the launch of the Michelin EvoBib with ADT (Adaptive Design Technology), Speaking about the acquisitions, Emmanuel Ladent, President of Michelin Agriculture said: \u201cOur Michelin today announces the acquisition of PTG and T\u00e9l\u00e9flow, both industry leaders in tyre
\nGermany, where they manufacture and sell tyre inflation systems for vehicles and trailers. Experts
\nin the agricultural world, PTG is an innovative company with differentiating, patent protected and
\nnon-intrusive products which it adapts for each segment of agro-vehicles. Well known for the
\nAIRBOX\/ mobil system for inflation, axle by axle on stationary vehicles, PTG have also developed
\nthe RDS system which brings fully automated pressure adjustment to vehicles whilst on the move.
\nAsked about the acquisition joint PTG CEO, Peter Tigges said: “I am delighted that PTG have
\nfound a partner in Michelin that shares our passion for innovation, technology and customer
\nservice\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n
\npeople who design, manufacture and sell tyre pressure control systems. These allow pressures to
\nbe adapted according to the terrain by the use of special patented valves. As one of the leaders in
\ncentral tyre inflation systems, T\u00e9l\u00e9flow is the biggest supplier of tyre pressure control systems to the
\nmilitary sector and has a close collaboration with many OE manufacturers. The company\u2019s best
\nknown product allows users to select the terrain and load being transported; the IN-MOTION
\nCONTROL system automatically adapts the tyre pressures to the conditions on the move. T\u00e9l\u00e9flow
\nCEO, Guillaume Fazekas commented: “Having developed pressure control systems for over 20
\nyears, the possibility to work alongside Michelin to bring industry leading products and systems to
\nmarket is an amazing opportunity\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nthis alliance with two European leaders in tyre pressure control systems allows Michelin to provide customers with complete systems to optimise their machines\u2019 interaction with the
\nground \u2013 both in the field and on the road. Transforming from a pure tyre manufacturer
\nto a full solution provider, Michelin will meet farmers\u2019 challenges with offers that simplify
\ntyre pressure management. So pressures can be quickly and automatically adjusted; to
\nwork at low pressures in the field \u2013 to protect soil and increase productivity and yields; and
\nhigher pressures on the road \u2013 to ensure better stability at high speeds and improve tyre
\nlongevity.<\/p>\n
\nambition is to continue innovating to provide increasingly complete solutions, guaranteed by
\nMichelin, that help farmers optimise the performance of their machines while protecting their soil.
\n
\u201cIt also marks the dawn of a new approach for the Michelin Agricultural Product Line. The first
\nconcrete example of this is Zen@Terra, which combines Michelin EvoBib tyres with Adaptive
\nDesign Technology, CTIS* from PTG and T\u00e9l\u00e9flow, and easy-to-use in-cab dashboard control
\nsystems, all backed by a Michelin warranty. This is a complete solution for farmers; it manages all
\naspects of tyres and their interaction with the ground, both in the field and on the road, and
\nultimately it will help maximise yields, efficiency and economic performance for farmers\u201d. <\/em> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
