Equipment Defect Caused Production Shutdown at Fulda

Goodyear’s Fulda Reifen unit in the German town of Fulda was forced to halt production on Tuesday due to defective equipment, and production remained shut down for about 24 hours. This enforced down time led to the loss of production of approximately 20,000 tyres. A spokesperson from Goodyear Dunlop confirmed that production resumed on Wednesday afternoon, however she declined to comment on how much the lost production will cost the company.
