Bridgestone Americas announced an investment of $60 million to expand its Bridgestone Bandag, LLC manufacturing plant in Abilene, Texas.
The 50,000 sq.ft. expansion of the Abilene plant is aimed at the growing demand for the company’s tread rubber products, driven by the rapid growth of its retread business. The expansion includes an immediate increase in operational activity, as well as the construction of new mixing operations. The mixing operations are expected to be completed and in operation by January 2025. The investment and the additional days of operations increase the plant’s output by 16 percent.
