Profile Tyrecenter in combination with four European chains, establishes a European Economic cooperation (EESV) by the name of TEN.

The objective of the EESV is a closer cooperation and sharing know-how in Europe.

In combination with four other European chains, Profile Tyrecenter established a new Pan-European cooperation by the name of TEN, in Liverpool (UK) on 2 October 2007. TEN is the abbreviation of Tyre European Network and has over 2,100 associated companies. The new European cooperation will be cooperation in a more structural manner and will exchange know-how. The mutual objective is to offer customers a stronger European network with regard to a Pan-European tyre service(including 24/7 tyre problem service).

Profile Tyrecenter, with 180 branches, is active in the Netherlands, Belgium and Romania. Furthermore Profile Tyrecenter has an impressive network of Pan-European colleagues for the European (24/7) tyre service. In order to further professionalise this service, Profile Tyrecenter has the need for a Pan-European cooperation: which explains the name TEN. Apart from Profile Tyrecenter in Belgium, the Netherlands and Romania, Top Service Team from Germany, SEAS24 from Spain / Portugal, Tyrenet from the United Kingdom and Tyre Team from Italy are TEN co-initiators. Currently far-reaching discussions are held with new members from other countries.

The establishment of TEN is a logical step in the changing European industrial car and transport market. “Our customers rightly keep increasing their requirements in relation to our Pan-European tyre service and specifically in relation to our 24-hour tyre problem service. The Netherlands and Belgium represent a prominent position in Europe when related to the sea harbours, airports and logistics & distribution. Transport companies are more and more active at Pan-European level. By means of the establishment of TEN, we started to bring our Pan-European service to an even higher quality level and to standardise it. This is part of our long-term strategy. Next we experience that fleet owners (passenger cars & business cars increasingly call for Pan-European tenders. We want to apply for these tenders in an effective manner as well. ”said Rene van Maasakkers, TEN EESV chairman.

René van Maasakkers, TEN EESV initiator and chairman: TEN was initiated on the basis on our customers’ demands and requirements. By this new European cooperation, Profile Tyrecenter has even better possibilities to serve its customers across Europe, 24/7. In TEN we only work with professional chains since our customers have come to expect this from us.”

In 1989, René van Maasakkers was co-initiator of Profile Tyrecenter in the Netherlands. Now that Profile Tyrecenter is fully grown (18 years), René van Maasakkers focuses on the development of TEN in Europe.
