Trial production has started at BKT’s new state-of the-art site in Waluj, in the Indian state of Maharashtra. The result of a \u20ac56 million investment, the tyre maker claims its annual production capacity will be around 30,000MT of off-highway tyres.<\/p>\n

Once full capacity, the new site will employ “around 500 people”, BKT says, and the plant will manufacture medium and small diameter tyres designed for machinery operating in the agricultural and industrial industries.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

BKT says this new plant is a “strategic choice” in increasing its productivity and efficiency. The 22 acre site is located just 5km from BKT\u2019s existing and first ever production facility in Waluj, which was opened in the year 1987.<\/p>\n

The project focused on the construction of a cutting-edge plant from both a structural and mechanical point of view and on the reorganisation of departments and work flows for maximum efficiency.<\/p>\n

Arvind Poddar, BKT president and CEO said: “Growth is our commitment. Looking ahead is our constant goal. A company which cannot look boldly towards its future is like a person who cannot dream.”<\/p>\n
