Nokian Tyres, Tire manufacturer in Nokia, Finland.
Nokian Tyres runs a production plant in Nokia that turns out 23,000 tires each day for cars, trucks, and heavy machinery. The facility supplies markets across several continents with both all-season and winter products.
The operation started in 1865 as a pulp mill and added bicycle tires to its range during the 1930s. In 1987 the business emerged as a standalone tire maker.
The winter tire line Hakkapeliitta takes its name from Finnish cavalry soldiers who fought during the Thirty Years War. This choice connects the tradition of moving reliably through harsh conditions with the engineering of modern winter tires.
The company runs a winter tire testing facility in Finland that allows year-round trials at low temperatures. Visitors should note that factory grounds are typically not open to the public.
After political shifts in 2022 the manufacturer moved production from Russia to new plants in Finland and Tennessee. This realignment brought major changes to the geographic spread of its manufacturing sites.
