Nokian’s Romanian factory starts tyre deliveries

Nokian Tyres is starting tyre deliveries from its new factory in Oradea, Romania. The first deliveries through Nokian Tyres distribution centres to Central European customers and consumers include winter and all-season tyres. The factory is strategically located close to Central and South European consumers and customers, and it will focus on manufacturing passenger car tyres sold to these markets. The factory is the world’s first full-scale zero CO2 emission tyre factory with all energy generated without fossil fuels, says the tyre maker.

The first new passenger car tyre range produced in Romania includes the Nokian Tyres Seasonproof 2. The all-season tyre range includes sizes for modern passenger cars, SUVs and CUV’s available for Central and South European consumers by autumn 2025. 

Providing excellent grip on snow and slush, the tire also delivers exceptional performance and a smooth driving experience in summer. Nokian Tyres Seasonproof 2 has a share of up to 38% renewable, recycled and ISCC PLUS certified materials.

It is the company’s first tyre in commercial production with such a high share of renewable and recycled materials. In the coming months and years, the company will launch new products for drivers in Central and South Europe produced in Romania, it adds.
