Hankook Resumes Production in Hungary

Hankook’s factory in Dunaujvaros, Hungary resumed production on the afternoon of January 8, following a stoppage the previous day due to gas shortages. The tyre maker had previously anticipated that the factory would remain out of operation until the evening of January 9, reported Hungary’s MTI news agency on January 8.

Hankook media spokesman Felix Kinzer told Tyres & Accessories that the pause in production caused the Hankook to lose more than an entire day’s tyre production, which equates to more than 15,000 units given the plant’s current output level.
