Continental is expanding its retail operations in Mozambique.

The company currently distributes passenger and commercial vehicle tyres into the country and will re-launch the brand at the four-day Mozambique Standard Bank Motor show through selected partner, Motorcare Lda.

Motorcare Lda is based in Maputo and is part of the Kjaer Group. Apart from Maputo, it has branches in Inhambane, Beira, Nampula, Pemba, Tete and Moatize and is seen as an ideal partner to Continentals expansion plans.

Continental has a primary focus on the original equipment (OE) market, and is the only tyre brand supplied to all seven local vehicle manufacturers in South Africa: Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, BMW, Ford, Toyota, General Motors and Nissan.
