Kama establishes ‘Tyre & Service’ presence in Czech Republic

Russia’s Kama Trading House began building up its ‘Tyre & Service’ branded service centre network in 2010. Starting in Russia, the distributor of the Kama tyre brand (which is manufactured by JSC Nizhnekamskshina) expanded its operations into Kazakhstan and the Ukraine earlier this year. The company now announces it has ‘gone international’ with the opening of its first service centre in Eastern Europe. Together with tyre importer and re-exporter Czech Style Ltd., in June Kama established a presence in Zlin, Czech Republic – its first outside of the former USSR. Kama’s ‘Tyre & Service’ centre is located in the Zlin outlet of the ‘Czech Style’ service network, which incidentally belongs to Goodyear Dunlop’s Premio network.

Upon announcing the opening of the ‘Tyre & Service’ centre in Zlin, Kama notes the necessity of offering aftermarket tyre service when selling tyres in European markets. The service centre caters for the consumer and commercial tyre markets and offers tyre repair plus a range of truck services such as roadside assistance and casing collection.
