Nokian Tyres Romania factory reaches target of one million tyres in 2025

The Nokian Tyres factory in Oradea, Romania produced its one millionth tyre of 2025 just before Christmas, meeting its production target for the year.

The Nokian Tyres Romania factory was inaugurated in September 2024 and started tyre deliveries last March. The factory focuses on manufacturing passenger car tyres sold in the European market.

The millionth tyre produced in Oradea was a Nokian Tyres Snowproof 2 winter tyre. As “the inventor of the winter tyre”, Nokian Tyres says it is known for its premium products designed for demanding winter conditions, and the Romania factory continues the over 90-year-old heritage of Nokian Tyres expertise of safe driving and sustainable tyre manufacturing.

The company also launched two new products for the European market last year: the Nokian Tyres Seasonproof 2 all-season tyre as well as the Nokian Tyres Powerproof 2 summer tyre. The company will continue to launch new products for drivers in Europe produced in Romania.

The Nokian Tyres Romania factory is the world’s first full-scale zero-CO2-emissions tyre factory with all energy generated without fossil fuels and utilising the most modern tyre production technology. When fully completed approximately by the end of 2027 the factory will be the biggest Nokian Tyres production facility, representing some 40 per cent of the total production capacity.

It is Nokian Tyres’ third production facility in addition to factories in Nokia, Finland and Dayton, US. Nokian Tyres has over 500 employees in Romania.

“I am very proud of our entire team for their hard work in reaching this milestone. It is a strong testament to our commitment to customers across Europe, enhancing our service level and delivering innovative products that ensure safety and comfort for drivers in all conditions,” says Nokian Tyres president and CEO, Paolo Pompei.
