The Onomichi Plant is located in Onomichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture, and specializes in the manufacture of off-the-road (OR) tires.
Approximately 60 invitees attended the ceremony, including construction machinery makers, users in both Japan and overseas, tire dealers and the Onomichi city government.
The second plant has been designed to manufacture middle- to small-sized radial tires with internal diameters of 25, 33 and 35 inches for use in wheeled cranes and dump trucks of the 30- to 75-ton class. Yokohama Rubber invested 3.5 billion yen in and began construction of the second plant in February 2006, with its targeted full operation scheduled to begin in October 2008.
Yokohama Rubber held the opening ceremony in order to commemorate beginning full-fledged production of 25-inch tires in this October, earlier than tires of other sizes. In October, 2008, when the second plant will begin full operation, the total production capacity of Onomichi Plant will reach 1,620 tons a month, an increase of 1.5 times that in February 2006. At the same time, the ratio accounted for by radial tires in the total production of Onomichi Plant will reach 40 percent, the company said.
