Tire Group International Names Delgado Senior Vice President

Tire Group International (TGI) has announced the hiring of Orlando Delgado as senior vice-president of business development. Delgado re-joins TGI with “over 20 years of international market experience with emphasis on Latin America and the Caribbean.” Prior to joining TGI, he spent several years as director of logistics for a world leader in the design, manufacturing and marketing of toys and family products. According to a company statement, TGI hopes Delgado’s expertise in Latin American and Caribbean markets will allow the tyre wholesaler to reach its strategic objective of continuing to open sales offices throughout the region.

“Having previously served as TGI’s COO, we feel that the addition of Orlando Delgado to the TGI team brings a dynamic that will surely solidify our position as the market leader in the distribution of quality tyres throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Orlando’s expertise in building international distribution networks fits perfectly into our long-term strategy of being present in every core and emerging market,” said Tony Gonzalez, Tire Group International’s CEO.

TGI carries over 40 brands of tyres including private labels Astro, Cosmo, Industar, Luna, Orion and represents many other brands such as MRF, Cooper, Sumitomo, BKT, Delta and Matador.
