Nexen Tire officially inaugurated the Nexen Tire European plant in Zatec, Czech Republic, recently. The opening ceremony of the European Nexen Tire factory took place with the motto ‘The new wave for the future', which marks the new era of Global Nexen. "Opening the plant in Europe will bring Nexen Tire efficiency and responsiveness to neighboring automakers. Recognizing the importance of being closer to customers, we have established a production base to respond to their needs more quickly and flexibly," said Travis Kang, global executive director of Nexen Tire.
