As a result, we got the opportunity to export our tyres to over 15 countries including Europe and the USA. 

AMW three-wheeler tyre is one such product that we export. Some world-renowned tyre producing companies get their three-wheeler tyres manufactures by us in the AMW plant under their respective brand names. We have taken measures to enhance facilities offered to our distributors. Hence, we invite you to be a strength to us on our quest for supremacy in the sphere,” said Janadheera.

Their success in the tyre distribution arena is of immense importance to our company. Hence, we made them aware of new business tactics and encouraged their feedback. 

Officials in our production and sales sections discussed with each and every distributor on sales aspects, quality of products expected by the buyers and tyre dealers. The feedback was very impressive. We are happy that we could provide all distributors the opportunity to participate with their families away from their hectic routines to spend two days with enjoyment. Hence, this business forum also enhanced cordial relationships between these AMW distributors and their families,” said Ratnayake.
