Founded in 2014 by CEO Harjeev Kandhari, a third generation tyre entrepreneur, the company designs and produces its own private label tire brands in partnership with manufacturing facilities in Asia.

The organisation's name combines the words ‘Zen’ and ‘Genesis’ to demonstrate their reflective corporate philosophy.

Unveiled in 2014, Z Tyre is the private tyre brand of Zenises.

Designed and produced for high performance cars and SUV fitments, Z Tyre now counts a range of over 70 dimensions and also incorporates run-flat technology tyres.

Westlake's tyres are produced by the Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber Company.

In 2014, lead racer Steve 'Baggsy' Biagioni competed in 24 competition events with the Acorn Zenises Motorsport Nissan S13.

In the same year, Baggsy lifted the Kings of the Kings Superfinals trophy at the event in Valletta, Malta.

In April 2015, Zenises announced the launch of its new Westlake distribution in Spain and Portugal, aiming to ultimately establish 100 Westlake retail outlets.

The Z-branded 295/35 ZR21 107Y XL tyres were produced in the Sentury Tire factory in Quindago, Shandong Province, China.

They were designed in Dubai by Zenises CEO Harjeev Kandhari, decorated with diamonds by artisan jewelers in Italy before being returned to Dubai for the application of 24-karat gold leafing.

The tyres were sold to a private buyer and all profits were donated to the Zenises Foundation.
