This transaction also grants CEAT global ownership of the CAMSO brand, which will be permanently assigned across categories after a three-year licensing period.<\/p>\n<p>CEAT\u2019s acquisition of CAMSO brand marks a major milestone in its journey to becoming a leading global player in the high-margin OHT segment.

Michelin will exit from the activities related to compact line bias tyres and construction tracks.<\/p>\n<p>H.E.

The deepening of the investment-led partnership between the two countries has been catalyzed by the leadership of both countries. It supports their vision of building a future of shared prosperity for our peoples.
