History

The 21st of March 2012 marked a milestone in the history of Tirendo: On this day the company around founders Felix Vögtle (Marketing, Customer Relationship Management and Human Resources) and Erik Heinelt (Production, Business Intelligence and IT) went life.

This was the beginning – still largely unnoticed of the public – of detailed testing and validation series. From June 2012 the broad and rapid internationalization was launched, through which the company has become a competitive and strong European player. Since September 17 2013, the tire specialist Tirendo is part of Delticom AG. Cooperation and sharing of resources enables highest synergy effects to be accomplished, and both companies are able to benefit from the expertise of the other. Within the acquisition, the management board received a new member and support by Markus Bihler (Finance, Investor Relations, Internationalization and Organisational Development) in September 2013. In the run he worked as a private equity investor at EQT Partners in Munich and Warsaw and at the Blackstone Group in London. In Summer 2013 he was involved significantly in the merge of Deltikom AG and Tirendo Holding. Felix Vögtle worked after his studies as a Managing Director at Gimigames, a platform for puzzle games, as well as at the Rocket environment. Erik Heinelt was also active for Rocket Internet GmbH before Tirendo and has been employed as a second managing director of Dafiti, a fashion platform for the South American market.

Brand ambassador

Tirendo partnered from 2012 - 2015 with the four-time Formula 1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel as a brand ambassador. The racer was the main character in the spectacular and entertaining commercials of the tire professionals. These are broadcasted on multiple TV-channels in Germany, Austria as well as the Netherlands and Poland.
