Richard J. Kramer, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company said, that the company is fully confident to offset raw material cost over time. He also told that an important reason for the slowdown in the first quarter is the planned exit of some of the smaller rim size tires. The official also added that demand was lower than expected in the replacement market. However, the company is hopeful that in the rest of 2017 it will fare better in the replacement tyre sector.
The company announced a price hike in February 2017 and it saw a decline in the volume of sales. The hike was in response to the global rise in the raw material costs.
