Mobivia & Black Star partner in Bethune project

The future of tyre making at the site of Bridgestone’s recently-closed Béthune plant in France has been secured by a deal sign-ed in July between major European vehicle maintenance and mobility firm Mobivia and French retreading specialist Black Star.

The project will commence in January and gradually ramp up; Mobivia’s communications manager, Laurie Lalloyer, in­forms us that the aim is to retread 900,000 tyres a year by 2025. By that time the project is expected to have created nearly 200 jobs, including employment for many former Bridgestone workers.
