Based on its cutback plans, France may not be a hot spot for Groupe Michelin tire production, but Serbia apparently is.
The French tiremaker announced plans to build a new tire plant in Pirot, Serbia, near an existing Tigar plant the tiremaker already owns and operates.
New plant is said to employ about 700 workers, but the type of tires to be produced there was not noted by Serbian media. Construction on the plant is slated to start in August, the reports said.
