Dębica SADebica tyre regains full output capacity after fire
Listed tyre producer Debica, a subsidiary of Goodyear, has regained full production capacity in the fourth quarter of 2024 following a fire that occurred in 2023. In the process of reconstruction, the Debica plant was equipped with a line for the production of passenger tyres, Debica stated in a press release.
In the immediate aftermath of the fire that broke out in the passenger tyre hall on August 20, 2023, passenger tyre production capacity dropped to 55 percent, but increased to 70 percent in less than a month to finally reach full capacity in the fourth quarter of 2024.
The Debica plant, which is the largest Goodyear Group tyre plant in Europe, produces tyres for cars, vans and trucks under the Goodyear, Dunlop, Debica, Fulda and Sava brands, which are shipped from Poland to 59 countries. The factory also produces original equipment tyres for the world's major car manufacturers.
Since 1995, the strategic investor in Debica has been the US-based The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, which, through Luxembourg-based Goodyear Holding, holds about 87.25 percent of the company's share capital.
