Nokian Tyres has opened a new finished goods warehouse in Dayton, Tennessee, marking the completion of a ramp-up process at the company's US production facility. Nokian Tyres began tire production at the US factory in 2020 and has since expanded its operations by increasing production capacity, growing the team to approximately 500 employees, and enhancing capabilities to produce North American-specific all-season and all-weather car tires. This year, production has been expanded to include light truck tires.

The finished goods warehouse, located adjacent to the US factory and spanning 32,500 square meters, was inaugurated last week. The warehouse can hold hundreds of thousands of tires. Tires are shipped from the finished goods warehouse to Nokian Tyres' nine-warehouse network across North America, from which the company serves dealers in the United States and Canada.

Nokian Tyres' US factory is the first LEED v4 Silver-certified tire production building in the world as a proof of its low emissions and high energy efficiency. The factory is partially powered by solar energy, and onsite solar panels provide three megawatt-hours of energy every year. Later this year, Nokian Tyres will open a new production facility in Romania.

It will be the world's first zero CO2 emission tire factory. Nokian Tyres's modern and efficient manufacturing platform, that also includes a production facility in Finland, helps meet the customer needs and supports the company's growth.
