By Jim Gibbins - 1st October 2019
USA / Poland - Firestone Industrial Products Company, LLC (FSIP), headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee (a business unit of Bridgestone Corporation), has announced significant investment to expand the company’s operations in Central Europe. The anti-vibration and air spring specialist said the investment was a direct response to growing demand for air suspension technologies throughout Europe.
Firestone Industrial Products says it is adding 2,000 square meters to its existing Wolsztyn, Poland, plant, where the company has manufactured air suspensions for commercial vehicles and passenger cars since 2005. Additionally, it plans to open a new distribution centre nearby in Chobienice, Poland. These expansions are to increase the company’s development and production capabilities and support improved logistics for customers.
