Nokian combines business units

Nokian Tyres is poised to integrate its heavy tyres and truck tyres business units to form a new commercial tyres business unit from January 1, next year.

The combined net sales of the two business units were approximately €150 million in 2012 and they employ about 280 people in Nokia, Finland. The integration of the business units is not expected to have any immediate impact on personnel.

“The integration of two small business units’ resources, operations and management gives us a better chance to develop operations and improve sales. In addition, the synergies of the integration improve profitability clearly,” says Kim Gran, the President and CEO of Nokian Tyres.
