Westlake appoints distributor in Denmark

Westlake Tyres continues to successfully implement its European expansion plan and has recently agreed a new partnership with T. Hansen Gruppen A/S for the distribution in Denmark of Westlake’s passenger tyre range.

T. Hansen Gruppen A/S, whose headquarters and state-of-the-art logistics hub is based in central Denmark, specialises in the sale of auto spare parts, scooters, bicycles, camping equipment and wheels (tyres and rims).

T. Hansen Gruppen A/S is one of the largest suppliers to Danish car owners, offering mail order and e-shop channels with nearly ninety retail outlets under the names of thansen.dk and Høyer Autodele. T. Hansen Gruppen A/S now employs approximately 700 people.

Mr. Nigel Hampson, Head of Business Development for Eskay Tyres, distributor of Westlake Tyres in the U.K. and several key European markets, stated that: “We believe that the T. Hansen Gruppen A/S is the ideal partner to grow with Westlake in the Danish market. Having accompanied us to the impressive Westlake production facilities and discussed plans for both the summer and winter tyre markets, we are confident that T. Hansen Gruppen A/S’s market positioning and know-how are strongly in line with Westlake’s business philosophy. We are very enthusiastic about our new association”.
