New Yokohama Mexico factory to be built in Saltillo, Coahuila

The new consumer/light truck tyre plant Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd. (YRC) intends to build in Mexico will be constructed at the Alianza Industrial Park in Saltillo, Coahuila. The details emerged after approval by the YRC board on 18 March.

“This is a clear signal that Yokohama is committed to the North American market,” said Jeff Barna, Yokohama Tire Corporation (YTC) president and CEO. “The increased production capabilities will supplement existing global capacity for tyres destined for our region,” Barna said.
