Pirelli's new plant in China begins production

Nov. 28, 2007

Pirelli & Cie SpA has begun making high performance tires at its second factory in China. The plant has a manufacturing capacity of three million units per year.

The $100 million facility is next to a Pirelli truck tire plant that opened two years ago.

"Production will be destined for China and the main markets in the Asia-Pacific area," say Pirelli officials.
