The U.S. State Department recently selected Pretred to present its barrier innovation made from recycled tires at the Cities Summit of Americas alongside Hilmerson’s Side-Saddle Bracket™ and barrier fence.

Pretred’s line of sustainable barriers recycled from waste tires pairs perfectly with our Hlmerson Barrier Fence System™ and passion for lean construction product development.

“We love that 70 tires are recycled per barrier,” said Deb Hilmerson, President and CEO of Hilmerson Safety™. “It’s a leaner alternative to concrete. It’s good for the environment and you will save money on transportation costs as the product is more than half the weight of a concrete barrier.”
