BKT has opened its new Research & Development Centre at Bhuj in Gujarat, India. The Center has been named ‘Suresh Poddar Innovation Hub’ in honour of Suresh, the eldest of the Poddar brothers. It is situated within an area of 25 acres called the ‘Mahabirprasad Poddar Knowledge Center’ (MPKC), in remembrance of BKT’s highly estimated founding father, late Mahabirprasad Poddar.

Designed for organising all spaces from a completely functional viewpoint, the new R&D centre includes the best range of equipment and software available managed by an expert team of engineers, chemists and technicians dealing with any aspect pertaining to the technological development of BKT tyres: starting from designing a new tyre and creating compounds to improve product performance up to implementing processes for an efficient and customised production of cutting-edge tyres.

The research centre will focus on new materials in order to alter the course always more towards sustainable and environmentally friendly elements. Another central point is all applicative aspects and options of nanotechnologies, especially in view of creating new components. Close to the new Center, there is a modern testing track, which allows for in-depth tire performance tests simulating real application conditions in order to obtain updated and detailed data and analyses.

The centre aims at becoming the number one research centre in the Off-Highway tire sector worldwide.

“We have invested in the new Research & Development Centre for the purpose of anticipating our users’ needs. This is the challenge and our promise for the years to come: this is no point of arrival, but another change of pace to enter the sphere of new technologies, and we are strong and capable of designing the future tire for our market,” said Arvind Poddar, Chairman and MD of BKT.
