the requirements of Paramount Trailer’s customers by providing leading innovation and cost effective solutions to their transport needs.The move has allowed the company to obtain a strong footprint across South Africa and elsewhere in Africa as it continues to acquire customers around the SADC region.

Our new sales team will be able to ensure that new industries and clients are exposed to the Paramount offering,”
comments Paulo Ribeiro, Financial Director at Paramount Trailers.From launching as a small family-run business just 18 years ago, the company has flourished to become a leader within its industry by delivering an unrivalled service to both small and large customers. “Our intention is not to be the biggest trailer manufacturer, our goal is to continue to deliver quality products and customer service that is based on personal relationships” Marques declares.It is this ethos that has safeguarded Paramount Trailer’s success as it continues to generate and secure substantial amounts of repeat business, with some of its buyer’s on-going customers that have been using the company since its founding.
“Our company is built on a firm set of values that have been critical to establish our reputation. We have a close and personal relationship with all our clients and suppliers, enabling us to not only provide them with exceptional service but to understand their business requirements and deliver cost effective and reliable solutions” adds Marques.
