Bridgestone sets up Peru office

Sept. 3, 2008

Bridgestone Corp. has established a new sales company to supply the mining and construction industries in Peru with OTR tires.

The company, Bridgestone Off-The-Road Tire Peru S.A.C., will serve what Bridgestone officials call "a key market for the sale of off-the-road tires in recent times due to large-scale investment projects in (Peru's) mining industry."

Bridgestone had previously established a sales office in Chile to handle its OTR customers in Peru, as well as several other countries.
