Goodyear Was Ready for Storms

Date: 6th October 2008 Author: Tyrepress Editors Comments: 0

Despite taking hits from recent Gulf Coast hurricanes, Goodyear says it has no concerns about raw material supplies for its tire production. The tyremaker said its synthetic rubber plants “returned to operation quickly due to the effectiveness of the company’s business continuity efforts.”

The plants in Beaumont and Houston, Texas, were closed in advance of Hurricane Ike making landfall on Sept. 13. “The short production interruption and minimal business impact resulted from our comprehensive business continuity process, which was enacted in advance of the hurricane’s landfall,” Goodyear said. “In addition, contingencies were put in place to obtain critical raw materials for the company’s tire manufacturing facilities.”

“We’re extremely pleased by the way our Business Continuity process works, and how we were able to quickly get our operations running after the hurricane,” said Bob Keegan, chairman and CEO. “We see the management of this process as a real competitive advantage in these types of circumstances.” (Tire Review/Akron)
