Continental sees ASEAN region as “very interesting” for growth

London – Continental AG has set its sights on growth in the ASEAN region, the firm has revealed.

However, in a statement provided to ERJ, the Hanover-based firm declined to confirm the information.

“As an international company committed to growth we always scan options and certainly the ASEAN region is a very interesting one,” said Conti spokesman Alexander Bahlmann.

This standard activity, he added, might lead to rumours and speculations.

“In this case, however, we have nothing to announce at this moment in time," Bahlmann said.

In an interview with the Bangkok Post on 30 July, Ms Sirivan said that Continental was looking at a new facility to expand its tire business in the Asia-Pacific region, with Thailand as a leading candidate.
