Hankook Tire America confirms warehouse shift

Hankook Tire America has confirmed it is opening a new warehouse in New Jersey, a 400,000-square-foot (37,000 square metre) facility in Dayton that will replace its current Edison centre in the same state. US industry publication Tire Review first reported on the new warehouse last week after real estate company CoStar Group announced the deal to local media. Hankook said the new warehouse can handle some 610,000 passenger, light truck/SUV and medium truck tyres, a 70 per cent capacity increase over its older location. The new warehouse is scheduled to open later this year.
