Bridgestone Opens Giant Florida Distribution Centre

Bridgestone Americas opened the doors to its new 1 million square foot distribution center in Jacksonville, Florida.

Calling it “state-of-the-art tyre,” the company said the new facility has a capacity of more than one million tyres and will supply tyres and automotive parts to customers in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. It will also supply the entire U.S. with tyres produced in Latin America, and the eastern half of the U.S. with tyres from Japan and other Asian countries.

Bridgestone Americas operates seven distribution centres across North America. (Tire Review/Akron)
