The first tire deliveries have been made from Nokian Tyres’ new factory in Oradea, Romania. The zero-CO2 emission factory is strategically located close to Central and South European consumers and customers, and will focus on manufacturing passenger car tires sold to these markets.
“The first truck loaded with Oradea-made tires left from the factory taking the tires to our distribution centers and later to our customer and consumers in Central and South Europe,” said Paolo Pompei, president and CEO of Nokian Tyres. “The factory, which is the world’s first full-scale zero CO2 emission tire factory, will strengthen our ability to serve our consumers and customers in Central and South Europe and beyond and support our growth.
“Reaching this milestone in less than two years from the groundbreaking of the factory is a significant achievement for us and I am very proud of the Nokian Tyres team who has worked hard to make this possible. I also want to thank all partners and Romanian officials who have helped us along the way.”
Nokian Tyres recently launched the Seasonproof 2, the first passenger car tire range produced in the Romania factory. The all-season tire range includes sizes for modern passenger cars, SUVs and CUVs.
Since the groundbreaking of the Romania factory in May 2023, the factory has already received a number of awards, including Environmental Achievement of the Year – Industry Contribution at the 2025 Tire Technology International Awards for Innovation and Excellence in Hannover.
