The second major capacity expansion at Bridgestone Americas’ consumer tire plant in Aiken County, S.C., is now up and running, while a third expansion there is well underway.
The $300 million second phase project adds a reported 12,750 tires per day to the facility’s output.
A formal ceremony including state and local officials was held earlier this week as the first set of tires produced through the expansion were autographed by plant and government officials to be put on display.
