Thomas Bush commented; “the Ascenso plant is one of the most impressive tyre manufacturing sites I have ever visited – the team of people behind the product, the scale of production, the equipment and technology utilised within the plant is second to none. Our trip to India has vindicated all decisions we have made in developing the brand over the last two years, this is truly a market leading product with one of the best teams in the industry.
Ascenso have looked after us incredibly well and our meetings with the Ascenso team and Mr Mahansaria, at their head offices in Mumbai has led to incredibly fruitful discussions for the future development of the brand into next year and beyond.”
