Marketing the products from inception as I was the person who started the company with the blessings of the board as the region wanted retreaded tires for which I saw a market as at the time the original tire market was expensive.

I was involved in the training, managing, coordinating meeting with the supplier and the overall running of the company, the reason here was I wanted the supplier company give me the initial training so I may train the staff later for which I could make the adjustments when need arises.

First to market the product in the war torn north and east of Srilanka since I foresaw a market which was profitable.
