Continental returning to agricultural radial production in 2017

Author: Tyrepress Editors Comments: 0
Agricultural radial production will begin at Continental’s Lousado factory next year; 125 new production jobs will be created

Over a number of years, Czech tyre maker Mitas a.s. has distanced itself in steps from the Continental brand it’s produced under licence since 2004. Three years ago the company announced an extension of this licence until 2019, however recent events have spurred Continental AG to reclaim its agricultural tyre brand ahead of this date. Continental has now announced a €49.9 million investment in its own agricultural tyre business, and the company will begin producing agricultural radials next year.
