Bridgestone Resumes Production across Europe

Bridgestone EMIA has resumed production at its European manufacturing plants in Bari (Italy), Lanklaar (Belgium) and Béthune (France) plant.

Production Restarts for Bridgestone

This move comes following an announcement that production in all Bridgestone plants located in Spain (Burgos, Bilbao and Puente San Miguel) and Russia (Ulyanovsk) had recommenced. This now means that Bridgestone EMIA’s full manufacturing network has restarted production with the exception of its Indian and South African plants which remain closed for now.

Bridgestone plants were originally closed in reaction to the widespread drop in demand for tyre products, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, with business and customer needs for Bridgestone tyres now beginning to rise again, the business has made the decision to resume production in order to ensure adequate supply.
