Tyre names join forces
The Australia tyre retailing scene is in the news with a merger between well-known chains...Two well-known names in Australian tyre retailing and associated services have joined forces.
The new company to be known as JAX Quickfit Tyres is the result of a merger between JAX Tyres, which was established in Sydney in 1949, and Quick Fit Tyre Service, which was established in Brisbane in 1995.
Both companies are Australian owned and merged has a combined annual turnover of around $100m. According to JAX Quickfit this makes its the second-largest privately-owned tyre franchise group in the country.
"It's taken 12 months from go to whoa but we're very confident we are on the right track to a bigger, stronger business," said new CEO, Jeff Board (pictured).
Board, the former General Manager of JAX Tyres, says the new company had its origins in an approach made by Quickfit Tyre Service to JAX Tyres 12 months ago. Quickfit Tyres had a strong presence in Queensland and growing in Victoria while JAX Tyres' operations centred on NSW.
JAX Quickfit Tyres says it specialises in tyres for all types of vehicles, and especially ultra high performance tyres. It also offers wheels, brakes, and suspension and associated services such as alignment, balancing and nitrogen fill.
