The tyre landscape is changing in South Africa. Competing against strong manufacturer owned networks and investor groups, it was critical for us as independent tyre dealers to align with each other and with Point S globally. This is a co-operation that has served us well and we have taken the international systems and agreements to expand our product and service offerings on a local level. There are lots of benefits in sharing ideas, technology, strategies, and values with likeminded independent tyre dealers from all over the world.

We are proud to develop the Brazilian market, one of the largest and most important tyre markets in the world, in partnership with Point S, the world’s biggest network of independent and multi-brand tyre stores. The greatest difference is being able to offer a world standard of quality in services, and to bring security to the Points of Sale in a market otherwise dominated by single-brand automobile centres.

Since its creation in 1971 in France, Point S has always managed to strike the right balance between its member’s independence and a strong network policy. Point S has grown both in France and internationally, not only as a purchasing group but also as a renowned brand recognised by our fleet customers and consumers, reflecting the values of professionalism and high-quality service in our Points of Sale.

Tyre service and replacement is a major entry point for our automotive service business. With the combined expertise of Point S and Suremoov, we are helping our shops to upgrade their tier offerings, service level, and profitability, while building the Point S brand in China. We will grow together and be successful in this market!

As the Network Operations Manager for Point S UK, I can speak on behalf of my team in saying that we are all extremely proud to be a key part of the world’s largest Tyre and Autocare Network. Our objective is to establish and grow the UK network offering collective buying advantages, and dedicated development via our internal bespoke training program. The support from an international company bolsters the promise we make to future-proof our members businesses.

For seven years now, we’ve proudly been a member of the Point S International family. This journey has been nothing short of incredible, marked by substantial growth that saw both our sales and store count double during this time.

The Point S Brand and international growth has been a cornerstone of our progress, aiding us in enhancing our relevance within the industry. Their assistance in establishing and nurturing strong vendor relationships has been instrumental in our growth. And the platform they provide for peer-to-peer sharing has proven invaluable, allowing us to learn and grow alongside fellow countries.

The value Point S brings to our company cannot be overstated – it’s woven into the fabric of our success. We proudly bear the name Point S USA, a testament to the partnership and the mutual growth we’ve experienced over these impactful seven years.
