Goodride is an Australian-owned business with extensive industry knowledge across multiple tyre categories and applications. Goodride tyres are manufactured by ZC Rubber – one of the largest factories in China and one of the top 10 manufacturers in the world.
ZC Rubber is equipped with the latest technology and testing facilities and by being at the forefront of the tyre industry, the Goodride brand has come to represent safety, value for money and remarkable performance.
Goodride Tyres has experienced significant growth during recent years, which CEO, Joe Limina, explains led to relocating several of its warehouse facilities.
“Over the last two years we have relocated our warehouses in Brisbane and Townsville,” he says.
“Most recently we have recently moved our Melbourne warehouse from Huntingdale across to Truganina to a new purpose-built facility, which will help us better service our customers. Having this new facility allows us to hold more inventory to ensure that we can fulfil our customers’ needs on time, every time.
“Moving from a 3,000-square-metre warehouse to a purpose built 5,000-square-metre warehouse also delivered many efficiencies on how we handle inventory and service our customers.
“Being positioned in the western freight hub means our transport partners are more accessible to us, to ensure we deliver on our delivery promise.”
Along with its variety of options Goodride also provides a solution to the OEM trailer market, by partnering with JOST Australia to deliver wheel and tyre packages to trailer manufacturers.
“We partner with JOST to supply OEM trailer manufacturers with a bolt on solution,” he says. “We also sell JOST wheels to our retail dealer network to fulfil any replacement requirements. We established a relationship with JOST around six years ago to provide an end-to-end solution for trailer manufacturers that require a tyre and wheel assembly. It’s not just a tyre from Goodride and a wheel from JOST, it’s a tyre and wheel assembly delivered to the customer, ready to bolt on to their trailers. If the trailer is designed with a PBS requirement, we can provide a suitable option for that as well.”
Goodride and JOST share similar values in providing quality products at a reasonable price, and the tyre distributor prides itself on providing great service to meet customer expectations.
Goodride’s decision to partnering with JOST is clearly favoured by its customers, the quality of the product along with the service that comes with it is what stands out when lined up next to the other options.
