SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- June 7, 2026 -- RONAL GROUP returns to The Tire Cologne 2026 in Hall 7.1, Booth C-19, presenting new wheel products and surface technologies for passenger cars, performance vehicles and commercial vehicles to an international trade audience. Leading the product introductions are the RONAL RF2 FORGED, an exclusive forged wheel for the performance and premium segment, and the RONAL R74, a broad-coverage addition to the Essential Line. A jointly developed Hot Stamping surface technology with LEONHARD KURZ and a new ULTRASHIELD coating from the SPEEDLINE TRUCK brand complete the innovation display. RONAL GROUP is also using the fair to introduce a restructured four-line portfolio architecture under the RONAL brand.
RF2 FORGED Wheel Extends RONAL's Performance Portfolio Into Exclusive Forged Construction
The RONAL RF2 FORGED expands RONAL GROUP's performance portfolio with an exclusive forged wheel developed for modern performance and premium vehicles. Forged construction targets the upper end of the passenger car segment, where engineering precision and premium appearance carry distinct commercial value. With the RF2 FORGED, the Performance Line gains a product positioned for a vehicle category where design quality and technical specification are primary purchase criteria. The wheel is presented as a flagship introduction within RONAL's high-specification aftermarket range.
R74 Broadens the Essential Line While R75 Gains a New Y-Spoke Design Variant
Two further wheel introductions extend separate lines within the RONAL portfolio. The RONAL R74 enters the Essential Line as a versatile wheel with a premium appearance and broad vehicle coverage, designed to serve current high-volume models across a wide fitment range. The RONAL R75 gains a new design variant within the Design Line: a Y-spoke configuration that combines a modern and dynamic design language with a premium appearance. That variant is positioned specifically for modern lifestyle, EV and premium vehicles.
Hot Stamping Technology, Jointly Developed With LEONHARD KURZ, Enables Metallization and Holographic Depth Effects
Hot Stamping is introduced as a new surface finishing technology for wheels, developed jointly by RONAL GROUP and LEONHARD KURZ. The process enables decorative wheel surfaces with a range of distinctive visual effects: metallization, colour gradients, real chrome looks and holographic depth effects. For the aftermarket sector, this extends design differentiation options beyond standard paint and coating approaches. RONAL GROUP presents the technology as a platform for individual premium surface solutions in the aftermarket.
SPEEDLINE TRUCK Introduces ULTRASHIELD Surface Finish for Truck, Bus and Trailer Applications
The SPEEDLINE TRUCK brand occupies part of RONAL GROUP's stand with current products and technologies for truck, bus and trailer applications. The central new introduction from this line is the ULTRASHIELD surface finish. Specially developed for the commercial vehicle sector, ULTRASHIELD is a coating built for high durability and resistance under demanding everyday operating conditions. The finish targets a segment where sustained surface performance under sustained operational stress is a core requirement.
New Four-Line Structure Gives Dealers Clearer Navigation Across Vehicle Segments
RONAL GROUP is using The Tire Cologne 2026 to introduce a restructured product architecture for the RONAL brand. The portfolio is now organised across four lines — Essential, Design, Classic and Performance — each with its own positioning and clearly defined product character. The restructure is designed to give dealers and end customers clearer orientation within the full RONAL range, with each line specifically addressing the requirements of distinct modern vehicle segments.
Mirco Herrmann, EVP of RONAL GROUP, placed the fair in commercial context:
"The Tire Cologne 2026 is an important international platform for us to present our latest products, technologies and strategic developments to a professional audience. With our current innovations, we aim to provide targeted impulses for dealers across different vehicle segments and customer requirements."
