Kumho Tire has selected Opole in Poland as the site for its European plant. The decision is part of the company’s strategy to expand its global production footprint and accelerate growth in the European market.
The European facility is scheduled to begin initial operations in August 2028, pending investment and regulatory approval. The first phase will support an annual production capacity of six million tires, with phased expansions planned according to market demand. The total investment is valued at US$587m.
Kumho evaluated several European countries as potential locations for the new plant, assessing factors such as site suitability, sales growth potential, investment stability, profitability and available incentives.
