Bridgestone to build $575 million tire plant in Viet Nam

 


Viet Nam‘s northern port city of Hai Phong has approved the construction of a $575 million tire factory by a subsidiary of Japan‘s Bridgestone Corp,a newspaper quoted municipal authorities as saying.


The factory will start operation in 2014 and have a capacity of 24,700 tires a day, all of which will be exported, said the report.


Macroeconomic instability in recent years has spooked some foreign investors, but businessmen and associations say Japanese companies, propelled in part by a strong yen, have been aggressively looking for opportunities in Viet Nam. – From wire reports
