Nokian Tyres named company of the year
The Chattanooga Regional Manufacturers Association has named Nokian Tyres its 2021 company of the year.
Nokian Tyres’ North American factory in Dayton, Tennessee, received the award as a result of its commitment to safety, robust community efforts, sustainability achievements and innovation, according to the company.
“We are honored to receive this recognition from CRMA because it shows that our people-first approach to manufacturing is effective,” said David Korda, Nokian’s Dayton factory operations director. “We will keep working hard to reward the trust our employees, community and customers have placed in us.”
Nokian Tyres opened the Dayton Factory in 2019 and is growing production there with full capacity of 4 million tires per year expected once ramp-up is complete. Workforce at the factory has more than doubled in 2021, and Nokian continues to seek qualified workers.
