Continental Tire North America (CTNA) celebrated the grand opening of its new North American headquarters in South Carolina. CTNA held a special ceremony attended by community leaders, customers and employees.


The new state-of-the-art, $11 million facility is a 75,000 square foot building which sits on 11.5 acres in northern Lancaster County. The facility currently employees 375 people with opportunity to expand.
