BRAND INDEX
GITI
After opening its first plant in the U.S. a little over two years ago, Giti Tire USA has been in growth mode. With 700 employees and counting, the 1.7 million-square-foot plant operates using a straight line manufacturing system – raw materials are mixed into the tire’s sub-components on the south end of the plant, and on the north end, the finished product is stored in a 400,000 square-foot warehouse. The company says over the next five years, it plans to release one to two new products each year for the North American market as it aggressively ramps up its production capacity at the plant.
