Ebrahim K. Kanoo opens largest dedicated truck service centre

Ebrahim K. Kanoo has officially launched a Michelin Truck Service Centre (MTSC) in Salmabad. The new, full-service facility was created in partnership with Michelin to enhance the operational efficiency of the growing medium and heavy truck industry in the Kingdom.

Spread over 17,000 square feet, the state-of-the-art facility was inaugurated in the presence of Ebrahim K. Kanoo and Michelin senior management team. The centre contains a large tyres warehouse, spanning over 75,000 square feet, with a capacity to stock 100,000 tyres.

Ebrahim K. Kanoo Chief Operations Officer Stefan Moench highlighting the importance of the investment to meet the expectations of quality-conscious transporters said: “MTSC demonstrates how we work closely with our partner brands to deliver on our promise of customer satisfaction and serve the needs of a growing industry.”

The Michelin Truck Service Centre boasts seven dedicated servicing bays for tyre changing, wheel balancing, alignment, oil change, greasing and repair work for truck and earthmover tyres. The centre has specialised solid tyre pressing and foam filling facilities, which considerably reduce vehicle downtime and help businesses to reduce wastage of slightly damaged tyres.

Naser Shashaa, Regional Director, Michelin Middle East said, “We are confident that this new facility will set a benchmark for future facilities in the region.” The centre is open from 8 am to 5 pm Saturday to Thursday.
