Singapore-based online tyre retailer Tyrepac in exclusive dealership for Europe’s premium Nokian brand tyres.
Singapore, Singapore, August 06, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Tyrepac has announced that they will be the exclusive dealer for the premium Nokian brand tyres in Singapore. The deal will see Tyrepac retail the tyres exclusively online on www.tyrepac.com.sg.

Nokian Tyres is one of Europe’s premium tyre brands, known worldwide especially for their winter range tyres. Originating from Finland, Nokian has consistently been in the forefront of tyre technology- in particular “Polished Grooves” for optimized water dispersion, “Information Field” indicating tyre wear at a glance, “Aquaplanning Indicator” with wear rate indication, and “Cool Silica” for lowering tyre rolling resistance.
“We are delighted and honoured to have secured Nokian’s endorsement,” said Tyrepac Managing Director, Ler Hwee Tiong. “The brand perfectly complements our existing portfolio of premium products for our customers and will be available for order exclusively on our website.”
Customers will then be able to fit their Nokian tyres at any of Tyrepac’s network of over 50 fitting locations across Singapore.
“We are excited for Tyrepac to be our exclusive distributor in Singapore with their strong online platform,” said Nokian Tyres Asian Regional Manager, Oey Pekka. “This agreement will also help Nokian Tyres reach new audiences and expand awareness of the Nokian brand in Singapore, and subsequently Asia.”

About Nokian Tyres
Nokian Tyres is the only tyre manufacturer in the world that focuses on products and services that facilitate safe transportation in Nordic conditions. The company's innovative passenger car, van and heavy-duty machinery tyres are mainly marketed in areas that have snow, forest and changing seasons that make driving conditions demanding.
For over 75 years, the company has been developing, testing and patenting solutions that promote driving safety. The world's first winter tyre was created to tackle the freezing temperatures and winds in 1934. Since then, top-range products refined with northern know-how have been introduced on a regular basis.
