NEXEN TIRE has expanded its retail sales team in Germany to meet rising demand, following a sixfold increase in retail tyre sales over the past seven years. This move underscores the growing importance of the retail sector within its European strategy.
The retail team now comprises six regional managers, led by Frank Pickshaus, Sales Director Retail & Key Account, who brings over four decades of industry experience. The expansion aims to offer stronger support to NEXEN's network of around 1,500 points of sale across Germany.
The company recently welcomed Frank Tschöpe to cover Sachsen, Thüringen, and Sachsen-Anhalt. With 18 years of tyre industry experience, he joined NEXEN on 1 May 2025 to strengthen coverage in these key areas.
