Tire production plant in Slatina was originally suspended until end of March
Slatina, Romania – Pirelli has delayed the reopening of its tire production facility in Slatina due to “new, more restrictive government measures” introduced in the fight against Covid-19, the company has announced.
The plant, which manufactures 15 million units of tire per year and employs 4,000 people, was originally planned to be idled between 23 and 31 March.
In a 31 March statement, however, Pirelli said it would set a new start date for the start of activity at the unit.
“In the coming days, there will be a very limited temporary activity in the factory to make the adjustments related to the longer period of suspension of the activity,” said the Romanian language statement.
