Europe’s largest network of independent tyre dealers TEN announced at REIFEN ESSEN that they expanded their European network by Dekk Partner represented in Norway, Sweden and Finland and Top Reifen Team in Austria. TEN, the Tyre European Network, brings together more than 2,900 dealer locations and 6,000 affiliated tyre specialists to provide unrivalled levels of service and choice across Europe, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Some of Europe’s biggest tyre service professionals, including Top Service Team in Germany, SEAS 24 in Spain and Portugal, Profile Tyrecenter in the Netherlands and Belgium, Tyrenet in the UK and TT Point in Italy, have founded TEN last year in Liverpool and they are planning to expand all over Europe.

The network offers fleet managers the reassurance of a single, fully operational European network combined with the flexibility of brand choice from highly professional independent dealers providing services whenever and wherever they are needed.

Rene van Maasakkers, President of TEN says: “TEN is a great opportunity for the national networks of tyre dealers which wants to offer their customers a European Solution. We are very pleased that Dekk Partner and Top Reifen Team decided to join the network of TEN, which is now already represented in 13 European countries and is the largest network of 2.900 outlets in Europe.”

TEN will offer fleets total tyre management solutions across all brands and all-inclusive tyre management contracts, tailored to meet the specific needs and requirements of each customer. All TEN partners are brand independent, providing clear and objective advice on all the options available at the best possible rates.

Mike Riley vice President of TEN adds: “TEN brings us into a new era for the tyre service industry. It represents the direct and close collaboration of high performance, high quality tyre partners throughout Europe, enabling us to provide fleet owners with fast accessibility, brand-independent advice, online management information and unrivalled levels of service.”
