Apollo In Discussions About New Hungary Factory

The local council of Gyöngyös in North-Eastern Hungary has been holding discussions with Apollo Tyres to establish a factory in the region. The go-ahead would depend on Apollo Tyres acquiring all of the necessary permits for the plant’s construction, said mayor Attila Végh said on May 13.

According to Hungary’s BBJ business weekly, the factory’s planned construction has met with opposition from locals who believe it will endanger the region’s winegrowers and fruit farmers.
