Pirelli Tire North America’s Mexic0 plant has reached production goals ahead of schedule. The plant, located in Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico, has produced 5 million tires.
“We were able to produce five million tires in record time, thanks to the work of our team, which reflects the quality and commitment not only to Pirelli, but also with Mexico. We thank all partners and local suppliers who have made this great achievement a reality for the rubber industry,” said Thomas Grávalos, CEO and managing director of Pirelli Mexico, during a special celebration.
Also on hand to celebrate the plant’s milestone were government officials and other Pirelli executives.
Pirelli opened its Silao plant in May 2012. Pirelli’s first Mexic0 plant, and 22nd plant worldwide, produces tires for all of North America.
