We simplify your tire business! Wheel Deck Rim Accessories Contact Newsletter December 2019 All of us at Nordic Wheels hope that you - all our customers and other business partners - will have a really Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Hopefully also with a lot of nice time off and relaxation. We thank you for all the pleasant collaborations during the year and hope to hear from you again in the new year. NO BREAK - NO REST ... We are open as usual during all weekend weekdays around Christmas and New Year! Welcome with your orders! "2019 WAS REALLY GOOD - 2020 WILL BE AN EXCITING CHAPTER." Claudio Menchini, CEO of Nordic Wheels sees both challenges and opportunities in 2020. Hi Claudio, how has the year been? - After a certain pick-up from the strange car year 2018 with new tax rules that affected the car market to a large extent, 2019 has finally become quite decent for us. We have managed our budget, even though it was quite tough. OK - what is the reason? - Yes, we have gained a number of new customers, which has partly contributed to good numbers, then we have, for example, also campaigned for wheel sets for beg cars and many have opened their eyes to the fact that you can also get more sales with fairly simple means . What are the big events for you? - The biggest decision we made during the year is, of course, that we will move the warehouse to the same property as our parent company. It is an extensive job, but will be great once everything is in place. Our first priority is really good customer service with short delivery battles and high customer satisfaction. - In addition, we started a collaboration with OCL Brorssons during the year, which gives us a fantastically wide range of rims that our customers can choose from. And what do you expect from 2020? - Yes, it will probably be really exciting. Once we are in place with the warehouse, it will be interesting to see how the new emission rules affect the volumes in car sales. In addition, there are a number of new models of electric cars that will be released, so we will see what happens. How do you prepare for Nordic Wheels? - The only thing we can really do is to follow the development of the market, have well-stocked warehouses and, as usual, be on top when it comes to delivery service. - Then we will of course visit both old and new customers and tell them about how we work. As usual, we are happy to take market shares from our competitors if we can. EU'S NEW TIRE LABELING - GOOD FOR US IN THE NORTH! The new tire label will make it easier to see what winter properties the tire has. Ökad däckförsäljning via import och på nätet har medfört att det säljs mer vinterdäck, egentligen avsedda för den centraleuropeiska vintern, i norden än tidigare. En köpare har haft svårt att skilja på vinterdäck avsedda för våra förhållanden och de som råder längre ner på kontinenten. I norr är det ju snö och is som är utmaningen, men i söder är det framförallt våta vägbanor som däcken ska vara bra på att hantera under vintersäsongen. But a new EU provision now makes the marking - usually in the form of a sticker on the tire itself - clearer. Today, information is provided on wet grip, external tire noise and fuel efficiency. The design of the new decal also contains information about the tire's ice and snow grip. This makes it much easier for a consumer to find exactly the features they are looking for in the tires they plan to buy. The information about the tire's ice and snow grip will be available on all studless winter tires. The new tire label, which does not apply to studded tires, will take effect on 1 May 2021.
