This new facility is projected to create up to 400 new jobs in the county, with around half of the investment going back into the local economy.

Nokian Tyres is building its first North American manufacturing facility to be located in Rhea County, Tennessee. This new facility is projected to create up to 400 new jobs in the county, with around half of the investment going back into the local economy. Concrete Strategies is providing the tilt-up concrete on the project.

With production set to launch in 2020, the new plant will service customers across the United States by increasing the company’s capacity to produce North American-specific products and reducing delivery times. The new facility will be capable of manufacturing four-million tires annually with the room for expansion. The site will also house a distribution facility with a storage capacity of approximately 600,000 tires.
