Bridgestone to establish polyurethane foam plant in Wuhan
Bridgestone announced on September 14 that it has decided to establish a new plant to produce polyurethane foam for automobile seats in Wuhan, Hubei Province.
The Wuhan plant will be operated by Bridgestone (Wuhan) Chemical Products Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign owned enterprise established in December 2010. Preparations are currently underway to begin mass production of these products in April 2012. Bridgestone will invest $11 million to build the plant, to install equipment, and to start production.
The Wuhan plant will boost an annual production capacity of 300,000 car sets, and will be Bridgestone’s second plant for producing polyurethane foam for automobile seats in China. The company already operates a plant in Guangzhou producing the same products.
By strengthening its supply systems in China, Bridgestone will enhance its ability to quickly deliver these high-quality products to this growing market.
