Nokian opens North American headquarters in Nashville

Nokian Tires P.L.C. has opened its North American headquarters in Nashville, to house the company’s sales, customer service, IT, logistics, and marketing teams. The Finnish tire maker’s previous North American headquarters in Colchester, Vt., will continue to serve as an office and distribution warehouse.

“We are pleased to be a member of the Nashville and Tennessee business communities, and we look forward to deepening relationships here and continuing our successful growth,” said Mark Earl, senior vice president, Americas.

Nokian recently revealed its plan to double sales in North America over the next five years. The plan will be boosted in 2020, when Nokian’s first U.S. plant is slated to open in Dayton Tenn., around two hours from Nashville.
