Leadership Honour for Vaculug CEO at Recircle Awards.

Vaculug CEO Haarjeev Singh Kandhari has been awarded “Best Company Director” at the 2025 Recircle Awards, a global event recognising excellence in the tyre retreading and recycling sectors. This accolade reflects Kandhari’s leadership during a period of transformation for Vaculug and the wider industry.

Championing Change in Retreading

The Recircle Awards spotlight businesses and individuals advancing sustainable and circular practices in tyre manufacturing and retreading. Kandhari’s win places Vaculug among a select group of companies credited with modernising legacy processes and promoting greener alternatives in commercial vehicle tyre management.

Since taking the helm, Kandhari has overseen initiatives aimed at increasing automation in retreading processes, investing in digital tools for operational efficiency,



and aligning the company with emerging sustainability standards across Europe. His leadership has supported Vaculug’s expansion beyond the UK market while maintaining a robust focus on environmentally responsible practices.

Relevance to Retreading and Fleet Tyres

Vaculug operates within the commercial and retreading segments—areas that are increasingly seen as key to achieving carbon and cost savings in fleet tyre management. Under Kandhari’s direction, the company has expanded its range of tyre management services, supporting fleets in reducing waste through reuse and extending tyre life cycles.

The award reinforces the growing strategic value of retreading not just as a cost-saving measure, but as a core pillar of sustainable fleet operations. The recognition comes at a time when legislative and customer pressure is increasing for measurable ESG performance in transport and logistics.
