Dec. 9, 2008

Michelin North America Inc.'s truck tire plant in Spartanburg, S.C., has won a Michelin Global Safety Award for attaining two million safe work hours without a serious injury.

The plant is only one of four Michelin factories worldwide to earn the distinction.

"In addition to their exemplary safety record, Spartanburg employees should be congratulated for their productivity efforts," says Pete Selleck, president of Michelin's worldwide truck tire business.

The factory recently built its 50 millionth tire.
