GroContinental Commits to Michelin

Major logistics provider Grocontinental, part of the AGRO Merchants Group, has signed a three-year tyre management contract with Michelin that will see the two-time Motor Transport Haulier of the Year firm continue to fit Michelin tyres across its fleet of 180 truck and trailer assets until at least 2021.

The contract covers all aspects of tyre maintenance and inspections to ensure that tyres across the Shropshire-based logistics firm’s fleet are managed as efficiently as possible – including regrooving and retreading every casing to extend its life and reduce unnecessary raw material depletion.

Commenting, David Grocott, Managing Director at Grocontinental, says: “ Tyres are not something we’re prepared to compromise on – they play a critical role in everything from our safety and uptime to fuel efficiency. Michelin has a strong track record with us and their products are first class; when you combine that with the financial benefits of the deal, we knew this was the right move.”
