Armstrong Tire, established in 1912 by George F. Armstrong in New Jersey, has risen from a long period of dormancy. The iconic American brand was once a Fortune 500 Company known for its strength of quality and product performance. "We want to stay true to the Armstrong legacy of craftsmanship, which is why we set up a brand new state-of-the-art Non-Chinese manufacturing facility with the best German and Japanese machineries to produce premium & top class Passenger car and Truck & Bus quality products. Every single tire that leaves our factory undergoes an x-ray to ensure the highest quality," explains Zafar Hussain, Executive Director ZAFCO.

The summer Passenger tire range includes a line-up of three patterns: BLU-TRAC PC (Passenger), BLU-TRAC HP (Ultra High Performance), and TRU-TRAC SU (SUV). The TRU-TRAC name is a homage to the highly popular Armstrong TRU TRAC pattern from the 20th century.

The Armstrong Tire Passenger & Light Truck range comes embedded with the 'TUFF 360 Warranty Program,' a comprehensive warranty inspired by Armstrong's beloved mascot, TUFFY the Rhino. Besides a competitive Manufacturer's Warranty, TUFF 360 also offers Mileage Treadwear Warranty up to 75,000 kilometers, as well as a 30-Day No Questions Asked Money Back Guarantee.

The goal of ZAFCO & Van Den Ban's partnership is to combine their unique strengths as a manufacturer and distributor to bring Armstrong tires to Europe.

"With Armstrong we add another value to our portfolio. And we create value for our customers based on heritage & future continuity and on a large range & quality" adds Frans van Lenten, managing director of Van den Ban Group
