Our origin story

Started with one warehouse and one stubborn belief.

In 2020 we opened a single warehouse in Harare with a single brand and a single conviction: that African wholesale buyers deserve the same authorised-supply chain and the same warranty handling as buyers anywhere else. Six-plus years later, that conviction still drives every order we ship.

"We didn't set out to be the biggest tyre wholesaler in Zimbabwe. We set out to be the one our customers actually wanted to call back."

What we hold ourselves to

Three things we don't compromise on.

No slogans. The way we run the operation is the way we describe it — and these are the rules we won't bend on.

01

Local decision rights.

Stock, credit, warranty and pricing decisions are made in Harare by people who answer the phone. We're not waiting on someone in another time zone to greenlight a quote.

02

Authorised by every brand we carry.

We don't move grey-market stock. Every brand in our portfolio is supplied under a direct distribution agreement we can show you on request. That's why warranty handling works without a fight.

03

Long-term relationships, not one-off orders.

Six-plus years of operating this way has earned 300+ repeat dealers. We grow by keeping existing ones. The wholesale rhythm — quote, ship, support — is built for the long arc.

Our journey

From a single warehouse to a nationwide network.

Six-plus years, two warehouses, 300+ dealers. The shape of that growth — and the choices behind it.

2020 · ORIGIN

Single warehouse, single brand.

ZIMMOTOR opens in Harare with one warehouse, one brand, and a focused TBR supply operation for regional fleet customers.

2022 · SCALE

Second warehouse, second brand portfolio.

A second Harare site opens to handle growing PCR and SUV demand. Two further brand authorisations are signed, diversifying from a single-marque operation.

2024 · NETWORK

Nationwide delivery, mining patterns added.

Logistics coverage extends across Zimbabwe with professional delivery and self-pickup options. OTR sizes added for mining operations. Dealer network crosses 300 outlets.

2026 · TODAY

Seven brands, six-plus years of trust.

Seven international marques under direct distribution, 300+ dealers, two warehouses, one direct WhatsApp line — and the same founding conviction still driving every quote.

Meet the people

The team behind ZIMMOTOR.

A small team in Harare handling the wholesale operation end-to-end. When you WhatsApp us, you reach one of the people below — not a call centre.

Founding Partner
Tendai M.

Co-founded ZIMMOTOR in 2020. Runs wholesale accounts and brand relationships across the Westlake and FRIDERIC portfolios.

Operations Lead
Rumbidzai K.

Heads the two Harare warehouses and the professional logistics partner network across Zimbabwe. The reason your container arrives on the day we said it would.

Tapfumaneyi S.

Pattern selection and load-index guidance for fleet operators. Owns warranty handling across all seven brands end-to-end.

Sales · 中文客户
Chen W.

Handles Chinese-speaking customers and inland sourcing logistics from China. Speaks 中文 / English.

Sustainability · Community

Built into the local economy, not just supplying it.

Tyres are durable goods, but the people who move them, mount them, and keep fleets running aren't. The community commitments below are how we hold ourselves accountable beyond the invoice.

  • L
    Local employment first.

    Every role across warehousing, sales, technical, and operations is filled by people based in Harare. We don't outsource the work we believe in.

  • S
    Skills training for fleet operators.

    Quarterly on-site sessions at customer depots — pattern selection, load-index guidance, mounting safety — for fleet maintenance teams.

  • R
    Responsible disposal of warranty tyres.

    Warranty-rejected casings are routed through approved Zimbabwe recyclers rather than landfill. We track disposal documentation.
