It uses modern production lines to product multiple types of tires. The plant has the technology to convert nylon into steel.
The plant includes technology from US, Italy, and Japan. It was built with a total investment of VND 3.4 trillion, covering an area of 120,000 square meters. The plant has over 1,200 employees.
The company pays VND 500 billion in taxes, said Hong. It is expected to gain VND 5 trillion in revenue from Casumina Radial to meet market demand.
