The Albany, Georgia plant will receive an investment of 19.4 million US dollars and will include a new tread line, the addition of a sixteen press expansion and four new VMI tire building machines. The Texarkana, Arkansas facility is scheduled for a 5.2 million US dollar increase to boost production capacity.
