Point S Canada, Unimax celebrates 40 years

More than 300 retailers and suppliers attended Point S Canada/Unimax Tire’s 40th anniversary celebration in Lisbon, Portugal, Sept. 12-15.

It was the company’s biggest annual convention ever.

A number of special activities and upscale dinners were organized to offer a taste of the premium Point S experience, and all attendees were put up at one of the most beautiful five-star hotels in Lisbon.

“It was unanimous: the convention was an all-round success. We achieved our main objective, which was to treat our retailers and partners to the premium Point S experience,” says Bruno Leclair, president and CEO of Point S Canada/Unimax Tire.

The company also took the opportunity to give out a few special trophies.

• Garage Auto Satisfaction was acknowledged for its involvement in the Point S programs.
• Les Pneus Beaucerons was recognized for being the auto centre that overcame the biggest challenge in 2019.

• René Doré from Cooper Tire & Rubber Company won the President’s Choice award for keeping a positive attitude when things got tough. “He is an inspiration to us all,” Leclair said.
