Bridgestone's Poznań factory made 100 mln tires

On Friday, the Bridgestone factory in Poznań manufactured the 100 millionth tire since it began operating 18 years ago. The plant's capacity stands at 30,000 tires a day, but Krzysztof Nowaczyk, head of the factory, said that it will increase to 33,000 in the next 4-5 years. "We don't plan to expand the plant, we don't plan to hire. Increased production is to be an effect of improving the efficiency of work," said Nowaczyk. The factory makes 500 types of tires, which are exported to 44 countries. It was opened in 1998 and employs 1,700 workers.
