Nexen Tire’s new factory in Changnyeong, South Korea has entered service, and according to Joo-Ho Song, senior managing director, global marketing at Nexen, the facility will play a key role in the tyre maker’s ambitious plans. Output at Changnyeong will initially be a modest 3 million units in 2012 and will build up, aided by five planned further factory expansions, to 21 million units – 60,000 tyres a day – by 2018. By that date, Nexen says it will have invested a total of 1,200 billion won (£650 million) in the plant.

CDP Group discusses counter-trend strategies in Italian wholesale market

CDP Group’s CEO Andrea Reggi calls 2011 "a year of consolidation", which ended with success. While the turnover remained constant at about 38 million euros, net profit came in at more than 2 million euros, an improvement of 15 per cent over the previous year and a percentage of profit on turnover of more than 5 per cent. Reggi hit the targets he stated in an interview with PneusNews.it last year: to strengthen the company’s financial position, increasing the return but not the turnover. "In 2011 I wanted to understand if the 38 million euros in revenue, achieved in just three years, was a temporary episode due to specific factors such as winter 2010," said Reggi.
