“Michelin is delighted to partner with the Alliance. Businesses have a key role to play to facilitate trade in a sustainable way. We are looking forward to being part of the many on-going projects led by the Alliance.” said Maeva Paqueriaud, Group Trade and Customs Director at Michelin
By teaming up with the Alliance, Michelin joins a roster that includes some of the world’s largest manufacturers, retailers, and logistics firms. These businesses are providing invaluable knowledge about the daily challenges that traders face when moving their produce across borders. More importantly, they are also helping to come up with targeted solutions.
With a presence in 177 countries, production sites in 26 countries, and 124,000 employees worldwide, and operates 68 tire production facilities which together produced around 173 million tires in 2021, Michelin is ideally positioned to inform the Alliance’s growing portfolio of projects in developing and least-developed countries. These initiatives benefit businesses of all sizes but are especially helpful to micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) as they look to enter world markets for growth opportunities.
“The Alliance is excited to welcome Michelin as a partner,” said Alliance Director, Philippe Isler. “Michelin’s vast experience in global trade and of the delays and costs associated with moving goods in developing and least-developed countries will be hugely beneficial to the Alliance’s work of delivering meaningful trade reforms that help governments fully implement the World Trade Organization’s Trade Facilitation Agreement.”
