Nokian Tyres is starting tyre deliveries from its new factory in Oradea, Romania. The first deliveries through Nokian Tyres distribution centers to Central European customers and consumers include winter and all-season tyres. The Romania factory is strategically located close to Central and South European consumers and customers, and it will focus on manufacturing passenger car tyres sold to these markets. The factory is the world’s first full-scale zero CO2 emission tyre factory with all energy generated without fossil fuels and utilises the most modern technology to produce tyres.
“This week marks the start of the tyre deliveries from our factory in Oradea, Romania. The first truck loaded with Oradea made tyres left from the factory taking the tyres to our distribution centers and later to our customer and consumers in Central and South Europe. The factory, which is the world’s first full-scale zero CO2 emission tyre factory, will strengthen our ability to serve our consumers and customers in Central and South Europe and beyond and support our growth.
Reaching this milestone in less than two years from the Groundbreaking of the factory is a significant achievement for us and I am very proud of the Nokian Tyres team who has worked hard to make this possible. I also want to thank all partners and Romanian officials who have helped us along the way,” says Paolo Pompei, President and CEO of Nokian Tyres.
The first new passenger car tyre range produced in Romania
The company recently launched the Nokian Tyres Seasonproof 2, the first passenger car tyre range produced in the Romania factory. The all-season tyre range includes sizes for modern passenger cars, SUVs and CUV’s available for Central and South European consumers by autumn 2025. Providing excellent grip on snow and slush, the tyre also delivers exceptional performance and a smooth driving experience in summer. Nokian Tyres Seasonproof 2 has a share of up to 38% renewable, recycled and ISCC PLUS certified materials*. It is the company’s first tyre in commercial production with such a high share of renewable and recycled materials. In the coming months and years, the company will launch new products for drivers in Central and South Europe produced in Romania.
