Bridgestone EMIA has announced that several plants across its manufacturing network will slowly ramp up production in response to business and customer needs.
Production has resumed in all plants located in Spain and Russia, while the passenger tyre plant in Bari, Italy, and retreading facility in Lanklaar, Belgium, are anticipated to restart later this month. Factories in India, South Africa and France will remain closed for the time being, while production facilities in Poland and Hungary have remained operational throughout this period, but running at reduced capacity.
Bridgestone is taking the appropriate preventive measures in accordance with its protocols for the prevention of occupational hazards, and strictly following the guidance and recommendations of the health authorities to ensure social distancing and adequate protection of its workforce.
