With more than 20 years’ experience in the tyre industry, Martin Buday has arrived in Gqeberha to lead Continental Tyre SA (CTSA).
Buday, who was appointed as Continental Tyre SA MD in February 2020, was forced to continue working remotely from the Czech Republic, where he previously served as general market manager and MD for the Czech and Slovak markets, because of the restrictions on travel.
However, with Covid-19 restrictions eased and coronavirus cases continuously declining, he has relocated to the Bay.
