The company was the first tyre manufacturer in the world to receive ISO 9001 certification across its entire operations in 1995, a testament to its commitment to best-in-class manufacturing standards and customer satisfaction. Every tyre innovation, including the UX Royale Green, reflects this legacy of quality and performance.
The ISCC Plus certification for raw material ensures end-to-end traceability of sustainable materials across the value chain.
