Apollo Tyres set to launch production at new Hungarian plant in April
Gearing up for mass production, the plant already employs 400 highly-qualified engineers, technicians and tyre professionals.
The new Apollo Tyres plant in Gyöngyöshalász is set to launch production in April 2017, economic daily Világgazdaság reported today.
This represents a delay from the company’s original plans, as Apollo Tyres vice-president Neeraj Kanwaar originally announced at the plant’s ground-breaking ceremony in April 2015 that the first tyres would roll off the production line 18 months later, in October 2016.
This target was later adjusted to early-2017.
