Guest: Georg Schramm, Managing Director of Cooper Tyres South Africa
In this eye-opening conversation, we dive deep into the complexities of South Africa’s tyre industry with Georg Schramm. From the impact of anti-dumping duties on Chinese imports to market imbalances favoring dominant players, Schramm breaks down how current regulations are driving up prices, hurting SMEs, and distorting fair competition.
We also explore the legal and economic implications of existing trade policies, which may clash with the Competition Act and place undue strain on vulnerable sectors. Schramm calls for urgent reform—advocating for a more inclusive and balanced industry body and a fresh look at protectionist measures
