Michelin India opens its second truck service centre for South India in Sankari

Michelin, a worldwide leader in tyres and mobility, opens its second truck service centre MTSC, (Michelin Truck Service Centre) in the Southern region in Sankari, near Salem. MTSC is a one-stop-shop for Bais, radial tyre and related services for trucks. Apart from the application based Tyre recommendation & sales, MTSC's gamut of services include Wheel Alignment, wheel balancing, professional tyre repair service, greasing etc. The MTSC was inaugurated by Philippe Neyrat, commercial director, Michelin India, in the presence of Harkesh Jaggi, manager Distribution, B. Kumar, National Sales Manager, TB and other officials & guests.  

 

Speaking at the opening, Philippe Neyrat, commercial director, Michelin India, said, "We see India as an economy developing at an accelerated pace, with focused growth in infrastructure. The highways across the country carry heavy traffic; therefore, that is where the demand for a service centre was inevitable. In keeping with its commitment to India, Michelin offers services mainly for radial tyres, which help contribute to save fuel, up to 10 per cent.  Truck Radial is the way of the future, it helps reduce the cost of the fleet owner by reducing his fuel bill and the overall tyre cost." 

 

The opening of the second MTSC in South deepens the availability of Michelin products and services along India's highways and will help to meet the soaring demand for Michelin Radial tyres. Being a one stop shop where all these services would be provided under one roof, MTSC would save the customer's time and expenditure on maintenance/ servicing. 

 

Sankari is one of the historic town located around 35 km south-west of Salem. It is situated on the Salem-Coimbatore National Highway-NH47, in Salem District, Tamil Nadu and is very famous for Lorry/truck industries and its allied business. In order to service the needs of our valued clients for both Radial Truck Tyres & Tyre related services, Michelin has opened its second MTSC centre in Tamil Nadu.
