Nexen Tire’s European entity said the added capacity will give it greater flexibility in responding to seasonal demand fluctuations.
Nexen Tire announced a new automated warehouse at its European manufacturing plant in Zatec, Czech Republic. The investment increased storage capacity by about 57%, from 530,000 tires to 830,000 tires. According to the company, the expansion will support growing production volumes, improve logistics efficiency and strengthen local supply capabilities across the region.
Nexen Tire’s European entity said the added capacity will give it greater flexibility in responding to seasonal demand fluctuations. The company also said it will be able to deliver products more reliably and quickly.
Automation Supports Logistics Operations
The fully automated logistics center spans 7,104 sq. m. and stands 51 meters high. It includes automated inbound and outbound handling systems and product tracking using RFID. The company said the technology enables end-to-end management from production and storage to shipment while improving accuracy.
European Plant Supports Regional Supply
The company said supply chain resilience and operational flexibility continue to grow in importance. Nexen Tire said it is using its European production hub to advance manufacturing and logistics capabilities.
Nexen Tire began operations at its European plant in 2019. The company launched the warehouse expansion project in October 2024 to support rising output and demand.
“This warehouse expansion does more than just increase storage capacity. It is a strategic investment that will strengthen our integrated production and logistics capabilities,” said a Nexen Tire representative. “By continuously enhancing the operational capabilities of our European plant, we will improve the trust of customers and further accelerate our growth in the European market.”
