2026 marks the second year in a row that Bergey’s retread Technologies in Sellersville PA has been awarded the ContiLifeCycle Process Excellence Award
ContiLifeCycle is the retread product offering of Continental Tire. The ContiLifeCycle Process Excellence Award is awarded to the dealership with the highest overall audit score for the year. Continental performs three on-site audits per year and uses the average score to determine your annual score.
Audits are meant to certify that dealerships are following the proper standards and safety practices required for volcanizing a Continental tread onto a tire casing. All areas are reviewed and scored for this process:
- Initial inspections
- Buffing
- Skiving
- Repair
- Cushion gum application
- Envelope sealing
- Vulcanizing chamber process
- Final inspection and testing
You can learn more about the full Retread process by watching our plant tour video.
We are excited to celebrate this recognition again in 2026. It takes everyone working together to achieve this status, and so, it is with gratitude and appreciation that we thank our operators, technicians, and everyone on the retread team for another successful year of dedication to our Conti Life Cycle customers.
Our Retread Technologies team is part of our full commercial truck tire group offering sales, service and fleet management programs to assist our customers with the best way to manage one of the most expensive aspects of running a truck fleet today.
