Deliveries commence from new Nokian Romania factory

Nokian Tyres has commenced tyre deliveries from its new factory in Oradea, Romania.

The first deliveries through Nokian Tyres distribution centres to Central European customers and consumers include winter and all-season tyres.

The Romania factory is strategically located close to Central and South European consumers and customers, and it will focus on manufacturing passenger car tyres sold to these markets.

The factory is claimed to be the world’s first full-scale zero CO2 emission tyre factory with all energy generated without fossil fuels and utilises the most modern technology to produce tyres.

The groundbreaking of the Romania factory took place in May 2023 and the first tyre was produced in July 2024.

“Reaching this milestone in less than two years from the Groundbreaking of the factory is a significant achievement for us and I am very proud of the Nokian Tyres team who has worked hard to make this possible,” said Paolo Pompei, president and CEO of Nokian Tyres.

The company recently launched the Nokian Tyres Seasonproof 2, the first passenger car tyre range produced in the Romania factory.

The all-season tyre has a share of up to 38 per cent renewable, recycled and ISCC PLUS certified materials. It is the company’s first tire in commercial production with such a high share of renewable and recycled materials.
