Hankook’s Hungarian Factory is Expanding its Original Equipment Manufacturing

Hankook Tire’s Hungarian factory in Rácalmás is continuously expanding its OE supply business to the European market. The Kia Sportage SUV will from now on come factory equipped with Hankook’s Optimo K415 tyre.

OE supplies play an important role in the operations of Hankook Tire‘s European plant. In line with the continuous investments in the Rácalmás factory, the company is making efforts to meet the requirements of leading car makers aiming to increase the OE tyre production rate from the current 10% to 20-25% of the total production during the upcoming years. Besides serving Kia, the Hungarian production site already supplies OE products to the European operations of Volkswagen since 2009 as well as Hyundai since 2008.

Hankook’s European plant started operations in 2007. It is currently one of the most modern tyre manufacturing facilities worldwide.
