At the Feria de Zaragoza in Spain, Balkrishna Industries Ltd. — the leading multinational Off-Highway tire manufacturer — will showcase its tires, engineered and designed to ensure maximum reliability in the most challenging environments. Representing BKT’s solutions will be San José Neumáticos, the official distributor for the Iberian Peninsula, with whom the company enjoys a long-standing partnership that marks its 19th anniversary this year.

San José Neumáticos will showcase the best of the BKT range for the construction and mining sectors, starting with the flagship tires of the EARTHMAX range, designed to provide reliable and uncompromising performance for dump trucks and dozers employed in transport and mining operations. At SMOPYC, the spotlight will be on EARTHMAX SR 47 TP, a tire designed for rigid dump trucks in applications requiring the highest level of resistance, such as rocky environments. Alongside it, EARTHMAX SR 35, a low-profile All-Steel radial tire for articulated dump trucks and wheel loaders, distinguished by its unmatched traction and stability.

“In recent years, we have seen significant growth in the Iberian market, a success that reflects the strong bond of trust between us and S. José Pneus, with whom we have shared the same goals, values, and ambitions for nearly twenty years. They are not just a distributor, but also part of the BKT family, enabling us to be present in one of our key European markets, bringing new innovations and technologies, and responding promptly to the ever-evolving needs of end users. Smopyc is a clear example of how all this takes shape,” said Lucia Salmaso, Managing Director, BKT Europe.

Today, S. José Pneus is a recognized and well-established company in the tire industry, which thanks to its technical expertise, product offering, and wide availability, has reached the milestone of celebrating its 60th anniversary this year.
At SMOPYC, visitors will also find AIROMAX AM 27, BKT’s solution for cranes employed in on-road operations or construction applications, where both maneuverability and speed are essential requirements. Finally, the booth will feature LIFTMAX LM 81, a tire specifically developed for industrial material handling operations.

This event remains a key showcase for the mining and construction industries, and the presence of S. José Pneus and BKT is tangible proof of these two companies’ commitment to providing safe, reliable, and cutting-edge solutions for operators facing the most demanding challenges every day.
