The Al Saeedi Group sales team collaborated closely with the Triangle team to create demand for premium truck tires and bag a number of fleet accounts. As an outcome of these efforts, Al Saeedi now has significant market share when it comes to the dealer, institution and retail sales channels and is able to offer the complete range to customers
