--- Quote ---New Factory For Colway Production
Following the news that Polish retreader Mark Gum had purchased the retreading equipment and the Colway and Greenway brands, all previously owned by C-Tyres, it has been revealed that the company will build a new factory in Poland to produce the tyres.
Mark Gum's owners, Mariona and George Krzyzagorski, have said that construction of the plant will begin this summer, with some tyres being produced later this year. Full production will come on-stream in the summer of 2009 and the range will include tyres for all sectors; passenger car, 4x4, van, light and heavy truck.

Poland? What is happening to this country? Safety Devices cages are all made in Poland, now Colway tyres :roll:
Great to hear the business has been 'saved', but sad to hear it's leaving the UK.

Well I said this years ago, the loondun eye, part of the millenium celebrations and supposed to celebrate what is meant to be british in the new milenium.
The hub was cast in poland, even though the worlds largest castings are made here in Sheffield. The frame was made abroad, though allegedly using Scunthorpe steel (probably because of the export incentives) and the glass cages were built in France. The the whole thing was finished late and didn't work properly.
Sound familiar?
