Goodyear to Build OTR Retread Plant in Canada

Goodyear Canada Inc is constructing a new retread plant in North Bay, scheduled to be completed in Autumn 2008. The new 80,000 square foot facility is designed using lean manufacturing principles to support continuous flow of production. “Goodyear has been a committed corporate citizen, operating a retread plant in the City of North Bay for the past 21 years,” said Glenn Bennett, Business Centre Manager, Goodyear Canada. “Our Associates are second to none in the industry,” said Mark Pillow, Director of Commercial Systems and Off Highway, Goodyear Canada. “The plant’s ISO 9001 registration is a tribute to the quality management systems they have put into place.”
