Inaugurates facility and kicks off project to add 50ktpa of off-road, truck & bus radials
Tehran – Iran’s Kavir Tire has completed a $25-million (€23 million) expansion project to add capacity for SUV tires at its manufacturing facility in the eastern city of Birjand.
The project increases output capacity by 14 kilotonnes per annum to 45ktpa and employs “local technologies”, said Kavir Tire in a release 17 Dec.
The production technologies, it said, include curing presses and tire-building machinery made by the company.
The inauguration also marked the start of a new project at the site to add a 50ktpa production capacity for all-steel truck & bus tires as well as farm and mining tires at the existing plant.
The company has earmarked IRR58,000 billion (€133 million) for the project, which is expected to be completed within three years.
Once in full operation, the project is expected to create 1,600 job opportunities.
