Point S, the world’s leading independent tyre dealer and car maintenance network, has strengthened its presence in East Asia by launching a franchised network in Taiwan.
The network has partnered with automotive repair and maintenance specialist, Car Quality, in an agreement that includes the integration of the Point S brand in Car Quality’s 30 existing points of sale.
Point S officially opened its first flagship site in Taiwan on 23rd October in a ceremony attended by the network’s International CEO, Fabien Bouquet and International President, Christophe Rollet. The site is the first of 30 new points of sale in the country, all of which will be solely Point S branded.
Present in Asia since 2016, Point S’s expansion into Taiwan strengthens its operation in the region. The network already has a strong Asian presence, with points of sale in India, Singapore, and China, as well as the regions of Hong-Kong and Macau.
Point S International CEO, Fabien Bouquet, said: “As a network, we are committed to expanding further into Asia and offering the region’s drivers our unique retail proposition. We are delighted to have partnered with Car Quality in Taiwan, as it is well established in the market and shares our values of championing the automotive industry’s independent businesses. Having already visited our first Taiwanese flagship store, I look forward to seeing the network grow with 30 new Point S branded centres in the near future.”
Car Quality Founder, Chuo Feng-Min, said: “Partnering with Point S is an important step for Car Quality. Not only will our 30 points of sale in Taiwan be strengthened owing to our collaboration with a globally recognised brand, our network of depots will benefit from Point S’s international purchasing agreements with leading suppliers of tyres, parts, oils and lubricants, tools, accessories, and consumables. We are grateful to our customers, suppliers, and employees for their support and confidence in Car Quality, and we are excited to grow the business in partnership with Point S.”
