Bridgestone Group to Expand Global Production Capacity
Bridgestone Corporation has announced that it and its subsidiaries will expand their collective production capacity worldwide. It also announced that the Bridgestone Group will realign the geographical distribution of production capacity for different kinds of products. Bridgestone and its subsidiaries will invest approximately 250 million dollars in the production expansion and realignment, according to the announcement. The moves are measures to cope with the shift toward larger sizes of passenger car tyres in the industrialised nations and the growing demand for commodity-grade tyres in the newly industrialising economies of Asia and elsewhere.
