Toyo Tire & Rubber Co., Ltd. has selected Bartow County, Ga., as the site
for its first consumer tire manufacturing plant in the United States, company officials recently announced.
Toyo initially will employ approximately 350 workers at the Bartow plant, and expects to increase employment based on future demand in the North American market. Upon completion, the facility's leading-edge technology will make it among the most advanced in the world. Construction is planned to begin this October.
Toyo will initially invest 150 million dollars in the facility, which will consist of manufacturing and warehousing operations. The manufacturing plant will produce several product lines under the Toyo and Nitto brands.
