| Professionalism and passion |
| Pneus-Online is the first tyre selling site in France where it has been an initiator. We are the only site to have won the French consumers' trust since 2001. This is due to our special history. For us, professionalism is lead by the passion for our work. |

| The beginnings |
| Pneus-Online was founded in April 2001, by Alexis Nerguisian information technology consultant specialized in banking software and a sports car race fan. The idea of creating Pneus-Online was born from a real need of its founder, who used to see his tyres "melt" at the end of every race. He then began looking for a solution to pay his tyres less. Why not buy them on the internet? This step, so bold in 2001, when Internet companies were passing through an economical crack, didn't find any followers among Alexis Nerguisian's friends and family at the back then. The partners weren't so confident either. How to trust someone with such a daring project? |
| Pioneers |
| Following its revolutionary idea, Alexis Nerguisian struggled day by day for almost a year to develop what was to become France's first tyre selling site. The site wasn't even effectively launched when the first order came to deny all pessimistic forecast. Very quickly, Pneus-Online was a victim of its own success. It then had to extend, evolution that the company has continuously known since 2001. |
| A winner's philosophy |
| From 600 tyres sold in 2002, to 100.000 estimated pieces in 2006. What had basically started as a small business has quickly grown into a young and dynamic company. Nothing kept us from evolving. We owe this success to our good image : the one of a company that always tries to anticipate its customers' needs, is always ready to listen to their demands, very receptive and reactive to every question. As the founder says, our philosophy consists in "(...) offering products and services at the best prices within the shortest delay, constantly providing guaranteed quality". The proof that we have always kept our promises is that since our creation several tens of thousands clients have chosen us. |

| Leaders |
We are young, dynamic, innovative and ambitious and we are all trilingual because we do not conceive communicating with our clients otherwise than in their native languages. Our team speaks perfect French, English, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian.
If Pneus-Online had one single employee at its beginnings, its founder, today we are 11 at the headquarters in Dardilly (Lyon) and our staff will double by 2008. The evaluations are encouraging. Our turnover has increased to over 150% the last two years. |
|
| First in France |
We are French customers' first choice, because we have a very complete and large offer, various professional services and we have only recently penetrated the Western European markets. We have always fulfilled our promises. If you find cheaper tyres elsewhere, we will match our prices right away to those of our competitors. (see Terms and conditions)
Our philosophy goes way beyond commercial reasons. Pneus-Online is not only a commercial site, but a real tyre encyclopaedia. Our technical tips allow our clients to choose their tyres in a professional manner.
Professionalism is always rewarded. Pneus-Online already works with car professionals. Harley Davidson providers, Porsche, BMW and Peugeot garages order tyres on our website. |
