Members of Sarawak Tyre Dealers and Retreaders Association (STDARA) were impressed with the latest facilities and equipment found at a local tyre retail outlet, Sin Hup Huat Tyre Company (Michelin Centre), in Gadong.

The delegation comprising of 80 STDARA committee members and members from as far as Kuala Lumpur visited the Michelin centre yesterday.

During the visit, the delegation took a closer look at the facilities available at the centre.

They were accompanied and briefed by Sin Hup Huat Tyre Company Managing Director, Kuan Kim Jok and its General Manager, Steven Kuan.

STDARA chairman, Tan Geok Hin, who led the group said it was the first time the association organised a visit to Brunei. He said STDARA has members throughout East and West Malaysia.

Mr. Tan said the association had made visits to various tyre service centres in East and West Malaysia and he was happy to note that Sin Hup Huat Tyre Company is one of the most excellent centres they had visited.

This is because the centre is equipped with computerised technology and modern facilities. He said Bruneians are lucky to have this service centre and he hoped members of STDARA would gain new experience and benefit from the trip.

Sin Hup Huat Tyre Company is the distributor for Michelin, BF Goodrich, Nankang and Mega Tyres in the country.

The outlet in Gadong is equipped with ultra modern amenities and is ranked very highly compared to Malaysia's tyre retail shops.

The delegation arrived in the country last Sunday.

During their stay, the delegation also visited places of interest in the capital. They left Brunei yesterday for Miri to attend the 24th anniversary of the association.
