Hankook opens seventh global plant in Indonesia

Hankook Tire has  held an official opening ceremony for its seventh global plant in Indonesia.

Located in Lippo Cikarang, Bekasi, West Java, the company’s newest plant will act as an export base for the North America and Middle East markets as well as a regional business hub for the emerging Asian market, with production capacity up to six-million tyres per year.

Hankook Tire’s Indonesia Plant, built in a strategically important location, will be a major growth factor contributing to the company’s continued global business expansion.

Of the total production capacity of six-million tyres a year, approximately 30 per cent will be allocated to cater for the Indonesian domestic market, while the remaining 70 per cent will be exported to serve the demands of emerging markets across the globe.
