TST is the designated supplier of the molding equipment for high-capacity radial-type tyres for Michelin, one of the world's largest tyre manufacturers. It is also the first time Michelin hastaken overseas orders for complete sets of equipment.

Under the contracts, which cover the next three years, the first shipment of TST equipment to France will take place this August.
