Nokian Tyres currently operates two test centres in Finland – Ivalo and Nokia. Adding the third testing facility and technology centre in Spain’s warmer climate will allow for year-round testing of summer, all-season and winter tyres.
The main focus is on summer and all-season tyres with a high speed rating; there is especially high demand for them in Nokian Tyres’ growth markets in Central Europe and North America.
“We have been planning the new centre for a long time in cooperation with local authorities and other partners,” said Nokian Tyres president and CEO, Hille Korhonen.
“Now is the time to take the next step and start building a technology centre for the future that offers opportunities for accelerating product development and growing our product range.”
