Apollo Tyres signs distribution partnership with GEFCO

Apollo Tyres has agreed a distribution deal with GEFCO to supply tyres to customers in France. According to the company, Apollo Tyres began integrating GEFCO into its supply chain in May. Since then, the partnership has reportedly cut average lead times to under four days and improved the overall ordering and delivery experience for customers.

GEFCO’s focus is on fulfilling orders of between six and 40 tyres, taking products from Apollo Tyres’ warehousing facilities in Enschede, the Netherlands. Larger Apollo orders will continue to be fulfilled by an existing, well-proven partner that typically collects from Apollo Tyres’ factory in Hungary.

Meanwhile, Apollo Tyres has been showcasing its new EnduRace RA 2 and EnduMile LHT tyres at Solutrans, the French commercial vehicle show, held in Lyon from 21 to 25 November. At booth 119 in Hall 3C, the company will also exhibit its popular EnduRace RT 2 truck trailer tyre range, which has recently been expanded with the introduction of a 385/55 size option.
