The Complainant is a French company operating under the POINT S brand in the tyre retail and vehicle maintenance sector. The evidence shows that the Point S network was created in France in 1971 and has developed into an international independent tyre dealer and vehicle maintenance network with more than 7,244 points of sale in 54 countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

On February 7, 2026, Point S Europe, together with Point S Sweden and Point S Norway, publicly announced the creation of \"Point S Nordic\", described as a new regional headquarters intended to strengthen synergies across Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark. <\/span><\/p>\n
