Agricultural and Industrial Tyres

Nokian Heavy Tyres are the top of the bill in Part 9 of the Commercial Tyre Business Agriculture Feature as we had the opportunity to interview three key members of their team in the form of Jarkko Heinamaki (Sales Director), Tero Saari (Agricultural Tyres Product Manager) and Pierre Choubert (Business Manager).
