The Dh15-million fully-fledged tyre centre at DIP is a crowning glory in the company’s profile Celebrating 25 years of doing business in the UAE, Al Saeedi Group has a lot to be proud of. It began operations in Dubai in 1988 as a small tyre distributor. Today, the family-run operation has grown to become a leading distributor of solid and industrial tyres in the UAE and the biggest dealer for global tyre brands like Michelin, Bridgestone, Yokohama, Pirelli, Goodyear, Firestone, Dunlop, Sumitomo, Kumho and Continental. Its success in the UAE has led to expansion of its business interests into other GCC countries, besides India and East Africa.

The company’s dedication to stay attuned to consumer needs, while fulfilling customer satisfaction and its vision to create a values-driven organisation, saw Al Saeedi open six service centres over the years at strategic locations across Dubai. The Dh15-million fully-fledged tyre centre opened at the Dubai Investment Park (DIP) last year was a crowning glory in its high-profile growth.

Dedicated to minimising direct environmental impacts by managing its carbon footprints, which in turn helps it to preserve and enrich the environment, DIP boasts of extensive greenery and landscaped gardens, DIP is a delight for nature lovers too. More than 10 per cent of land in each development has been set aside for conservation and greenery.

Anish Malattiri, Director, Al Saeedi Group the one-of-its-kind purpose-built tyre service centre with dedicated bays for car and truck tyre changing with individual service counters,” says Anish Malattiri, Director, Al Saeedi Group. “The tyre service centres are fully equipped with state-of-the-art tyre equipment from Europe to provide quick and efficient service and this facility also houses a centralised logistics distribution point.”

Al Saeedi chose DIP as a venue for its new facility “as it soon is going to be one of the most lucrative industrial centres in the emirate,” says Malattiri. “It is strategically located, due its proximity to the Jebel Ali port, the new Dubai World Central airport and the surrounding business hub.”

“I am thankful to DIP for giving us the opportunity to base ourselves here and for their massive

support in helping us set up our new facility,” he adds. “Our new service centre aims to cater to the discerning residents of the UAE by providing them with the most advanced tyre servicing facility.”

As a service provider, it is the company’s top priority to satisfy the customer. According to Malattiri, “Al Saeedi was the first in the industry to introduce a unique Mobile Tyre Service which helps to get people back on the road in the eventuality of a flat tyre or car breakdown. Our mobile service work round the clock to cater to customers’ needs.”

The group’s association with CAMOPLAST SOLIDEAL, a market leader in solid, industrial pneumatics and construction equipment tyres, has helped in its growth, says Malattiri. “This is a niche segment and it has
