NEXEN Tire Corporation has won numbers of awards this year, among them are the ‘'Red Dot Design Award'', one of the top three design awards in the world. Also, the Nexen's N8000 was commended by the sportscars section of Auto Bild and gave the “Recommended Grade'' in performance under wet conditions. N9000 was named as the Red Dot Design Award 2012 – widely known as one of the world's top three global design accolades. The award dates back to 1955 and is now one of the world's largest and most distinguished design competitions held by Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen in Essen, Germany. The N8000 got a good score in the dry assessment. This means that the tire from the Korean production was especially convincing, especially in the safety- related fields. The braking characteristics of the Nexen N8000 could certainly keep up with the premium brands. Nexen Tire Corporation has won 8 international awards in 2011 and 4 international awards in 2012. The total awards so far are more than 25. Abdullateef Al. Amoudi, CEO at Al-Amoudi Holdings Company, exclusive distributor of Nexen's tires in the Kingdom, said ‘'in my last visit to Nexen's factory in Korea, I realized how deeply the attention in details to provide highest products quality, and I was amazed by the technological development as well as the manufacturing and production mechanism.'' “Nexen became a great competitor for international companies and I expected a huge success, especially after opening new production factory in Korea in order to meet the needs of consumers around the world." Al-Amoudi Holdings has 18 branches around the Kingdom. Moreover, the company has other investments in real estate locally and globally. — SG
