Bridgestone closing truck tyre plant in China

Author: Stephen Goodchild Comments: 0

As part of the global footprint restructuring announced as part of its Mid Term Business Plan (2021-2023), Bridgestone Corporation is shutting one of the two truck tyre plants it currently operates in China. It will close the Bridgestone (Huizhou) Tire Co., Ltd. (BSHZ) facility by the end of 2021, consolidating its manufacturing footprint into the Bridgestone (Shenyang) Tire Co., Ltd. (BSSY) plant. The neighbouring Bridgestone (Huizhou) Synthetic Rubber facility was recently sold to LCY Chemical Corporation.

The BSHZ factory opened in 2007 and employed 518 people as of 30 November 2021, with a production volume of approximately 2,800 tyres a day.
