Over the years, Michelin has grown into one of the island's leading premium tyre brands, recognised for its innovation, durability and trusted performance. Behind this success lies more than world-class products. It is the result of strong partnerships, dedicated people and a shared commitment to delivering the highest standards of customer service.
To celebrate this important milestone, Axess marked 20 years of Michelin in Mauritius through an island-wide roadshow, recognising the people and partnerships that have shaped the brand's journey over the past two decades.
Through the eyes of Rajesh Lingiah
Few people have witnessed Michelin's journey in Mauritius as closely as Rajesh Lingiah, Sales Representative – Michelin.
Having dedicated the past 20 years to Michelin at Axess, Rajesh has experienced the brand's evolution firsthand while building strong relationships with customers, resellers and partners across the island.
Reflecting on this milestone, he shares:
"To me, this milestone represents real progress from humble beginnings to where I stand today. It's been a journey shaped by the opportunities management entrusted me with, as well as hard work, dedication, discipline and the ability to adapt every single day."
His journey is a reflection of the values that continue to define Michelin and Axess: passion, commitment and continuous progress.
Building a trusted premium tyre brand
Throughout the last two decades, Michelin has continued to strengthen its reputation in Mauritius by consistently delivering tyres renowned for their quality, safety and performance.
Rajesh has seen this transformation throughout his career.
"During the last 20 years, I've seen Michelin grow tremendously in Mauritius. It's now the go-to premium tyre brand for customers."
This growth has been made possible through continuous innovation, customer confidence and the dedication of the people who represent the brand every day.
The people behind Michelin at Axess
Behind every Michelin tyre fitted is a team of passionate professionals working every day to deliver an exceptional customer experience.

More than a roadshow
For Rajesh, one of the most memorable moments of the anniversary celebrations was reconnecting with customers and partners during the Michelin roadshow.
"What stood out most was the energy from our partners and clients. Seeing customers arrive early for the promotion and engaging with people across the island made it unforgettable."
Beyond celebrating the milestone, the roadshow highlighted the strong relationships that have been built over the years and the shared commitment to delivering the very best to customers throughout Mauritius.
The strength of our reseller network
Michelin's success would not have been possible without the dedication of its reseller network.
For Rajesh, resellers have always been much more than distribution partners.
"I see them as partners, not just resellers. Their commitment to promoting Michelin tyres has been essential to our growth. Thanks to them, our brand now reaches every corner of the island."
Their professionalism, commitment and close relationships with customers have played a vital role in strengthening Michelin's presence across Mauritius, making premium tyre solutions more accessible while reinforcing the trust that customers place in the brand.
Looking ahead
As Michelin and Axess celebrate 20 years of partnership, this milestone is both an opportunity to reflect on the journey so far and to look confidently towards the future.
We extend our sincere thanks to our customers for their continued trust, to our reseller network for their unwavering support, and to every member of our Michelin showrooms, workshops and support teams whose passion, expertise and dedication continue to deliver outstanding service every day.
Together, they have helped build more than a premium tyre brand. They have built lasting relationships founded on trust, quality and a shared commitment to excellence.
As we look ahead, Michelin and Axess remain committed to supporting Mauritian drivers with premium tyre solutions, expert advice and the exceptional service that has defined the partnership for the past two decades.
Together, let's keep driving Mauritius forward.
