Apollo Begins Quest for New Factory Site in Hungary, Slovakia

Apollo Tyres will begin its search for possible new sites for its European factory at the start of September. According to the company’s public relations agent in Hungary, sites both in Hungary and Slovakia will be considered.

The site assessment process is expected to take several months, the agent said. Meanwhile, twenty-seven Hungarian towns have voiced an interest in hosting the tyre manufacturing facility. The trade promotion organisation International Trade and Development Hungary has forwarded information on a number of sites to the tyremaker’s Hungarian agency, and the level of direct contact it is receiving from local governments in Slovakia is increasing.
