Morrocco first – Sentury Tire redirects funds earmarked for Spanish plant
Sentury Tire has disclosed that it will invest the approximately RMB 2.8 billion (£313 million) it raised to set up a factory in Spain in the construction of its Moroccan plant instead. The motivation behind this decision, says Sentury Tire, is that while the facility in Spain is still in the “approval process” with no clear indication of when this will conclude, the tyre plant in Morrocco is “progressing well” and has a greater need for capital expenditures.
