Recruitment begins for Conti’s Sumter plant
Continental Tire the Americas has begun recruiting employees for its new plant in Sumter, South Carolina. The tyre maker says the staffing process and manufacturing training for the first 150 employees will begin in the first quarter of 2013, and during the first phase of production in late 2013 and early 2014 the Sumter facility will employ around 300 production workers. Around 1,600 people will work at the plant when work is complete and production is in full swing.
During initial phase work, which is expected to continue until 2017, the Sumter plant will produce more than four million passenger and light truck tyres annually. When the full production levels are reached in 2021, annual production capacity will increase to up to eight million tyres per year.
