Alpine Tyre Group lists CCC, DOT, ECE, GCC, SNI, INMETRO and LATU approvals together with ISO 9001. The spread points to sales in the Gulf, Indonesia, Brazil and Uruguay as well as Europe and North America.
The company runs separate Arabic, Russian and Spanish versions of its website alongside the English one. Its two appearances at Tyrexpo Africa in Johannesburg show an interest in southern African truck tyre buyers.
Sourcing Alpine from China
Alpine is sold from a Qingdao office, and the website does not identify the producing plant, so importers should ask which factory and which sidewall brand each line ships under. Truck and car lines appear on the site with Joyall and Habilead branding, while the bias OTR lines are marked Alpine. Loading quantity, lead time and minimum order depend on your size mix.
