“The sizes of heavy tyres and customer requirements have increased significantly. With the new production line, we want to respond to market needs and serve our customers even better also in terms of inner tubes, rims and finished wheel packages. The new inner tube production line will provide us with the additional capacity needed and is important for a balanced heavy tire product portfolio and growth,” said Manu Salmi, EVP, Heavy Tyres and Nokia Factory.

The inner tubes have previously been manufactured in Lieksa, Finland where production will end in stages during 2025.
