Falken leases new tire warehouse

July 22, 2002

Falken Tire has signed a lease on a new 300,000-plus-square-foot, purpose-built tire warehouse in Lebanon, Tenn. The new facility will serve states east of the Mississippi River with the entire Falken lineup, the company says.

"This new warehouse will service our eastern U.S. dealers and will be linked with our new order entry system brought online at the latter part of 2001," says Gil Marriott, Falken vice president, administration, and treasurer. "The new facility will be operational the first quarter of 2003, and will greatly solidify our standing in the eastern U.S. as a major tire manufacturer."
