| Delticom - a firm grip on the road to success
Delticom AG has been in business now as a tyre wholesaler since 1999 and has been operating as an online tyre dealer since 2000. In the field of e-commerce, the Delticom group has 81 online shops in 30 countries countries spread across Europe, North America, Asia and The Far East providing both private and business customers with a product programme which, depending on local market conditions, consists of all or part of the following product mix: car tyres, motor cycle tyres, van and truck tyres, bus tyres, wheel rims, complete wheel sets (rims with tyres), selected car spare parts and accessories, motor oils and batteries.
Depending on customer requirements, delivery can either be made directly to the customer or to an address that they nominate, or the tyres can be sent directly to one of Delticom's fitting station partners.
