About us

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 more than 200.000 pieces a year currently, 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 deadline, 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.
