Delticom expands: second subsidiary founded in the Netherlands

Delticom B. V. offers tyres at unbeatable prices at www.autobandenmarkt.nl

Groningen/Hanover, 09.11.2001 The Hanover-based Delticom AG has launched an online tyre shop in the Netherlands. The tyre dealing company has founded its second subsidiary, Delticom B.V., headquartered in Groningen. At www.autobandenmarkt.nl, Delticom offers low-priced tyres and wheels via the Internet. The company has online tyre shops in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In summer the Hanover-based company went online in the UK and founded its first subsidiary, Delticom Ltd., in Dunfermline/Scotland. "Holland is the last shop, with which we will go online this year", underlined Delticom Managing Director Dr. Andreas Prüfer (38). "For 2002 we are planning to launch two further online tyre shops in Europe." Just recently the tyre dealers increased their expected earnings from 30 to 35 million. The company currently employs 24 people.

"Besides the Dutch market, we will also address customers in Belgium and Luxemburg, because of their linguistic and geographic closeness", explained Rainer Binder (43), Managing Director at Delticom. In the Netherlands, Delticom offers the same extensive offer of 40 tyre brands and more than 7.000 tyre types as in all the other tyre shops - including tyres for allterrain vehicles, caravans, and mobile homes. In Holland, Delticom will also sell its tyres up to 25 percent lower than competitors, including shipping costs. Besides offering an easy and comfortable ordering process, customers can get advice and information about products, and coming soon test results. The tyres can be delivered to any address - home, service station or tyre fitter. The customer has the the right to return the products within a 30 day period. Also included is a tyre fitting service. To date, Delticom has over 1.300 service partner mounting customer tyres. Other tyre fitters are welcome to register free of charge.
