Point S Europe, together with Point S Sweden and Point S Norway, has announced the creation of Point S Nordic, a new regional headquarters established to strengthen synergies across the four Scandinavian markets where the Point S brand operates: Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark.
The regional network belongs to the global Point S independent network of tyre dealers and vehicle maintenance businesses. Across the Nordics, Point S has more than 300 retail outlets, with an estimated market share of nearly 10% in passenger car tyres and 15% in the truck and commercial vehicle segment.
Point S Nordic will coordinate supplier and fleet policies while supporting development of the Point S network across Scandinavia. The Group aims to recruit approximately 100 new members across the region over the next three years.
The creation of Point S Nordic has been formally announced at the Point S Sweden annual conference on February 7th in Göteborg.
