Nexen Tire has announced the completion of an expansion at its European factory in Zatec, Czech Republic, aimed at enhancing its local market responsiveness.
The expansion of the automated warehouse for finished products is part of a strategic investment to improve logistics competitiveness and establish a more stable and rapid supply chain for customers in Europe. Earlier, the European factory had increased its production capacity to approximately 10 million units annually with the addition of a second plant in 2024, and the expansion of the finished product warehouse began in October of that year.
The new warehouse spans 7,104 square meters and stands 51 meters tall, increasing tire storage capacity from about 530,000 to approximately 830,000, a rise of about 57%.
The finished product warehouse features a fully automated inbound and outbound system and advanced product tracking technology. This allows for efficient management of the entire process from production to storage and shipping, significantly enhancing the accuracy and productivity of logistics operations.
A Nexen Tire representative stated, "This investment goes beyond merely expanding storage facilities; it aims to strengthen supply competitiveness by integrating production and logistics. We will continue to enhance our production and logistics systems centered around the European factory to provide more reliable services to local customers and accelerate growth in the European market."
Meanwhile, Nexen Tire is expanding its tire supply to global automakers while reinforcing its growth strategy focused on premium and high-value products.
