Nokian Tyres' North American Factory

North American Tires at a North American Tire Factory

Many people know us as the Finnish inventor of the winter tire, but we’re also a growing North American tire manufacturer. We built our $360 million manufacturing facility to serve customers across the United States and Canada. Our first North American tire factory produces car and light truck all season tires and all weather tires tailored to meet the demands of North American drivers, while doubling down on our commitment to safe, sustainable products and processes.

We believe happy people make premium tires, and our Hakkapeliitta Spirit of entrepreneurship, inventiveness and team spirit guides our work together. Since opening in 2019, we’ve won awards for the factory’s operations, culture and sustainability. That means career advancement for our team members and safety for North American tire buyers.

Tires made by Americans, for North American Roads

Our dedicated team members at the Dayton Factory craft all season and all weather tires that thrive in all conditions. In 2024, we set production records, opened an automated finished goods warehouse, and expanded our product range at the factory.

Our North American tire factory was designed on the cutting edge of sustainable innovation. The Dayton Factory is the first tire factory in the world to earn LEED v4 Silver certification - a testament to its low emissions and energy efficiency - and its administration building earned LEED v4 Gold certification in 2021. But state-of-the-art facilities are not the only way we strive to be sustainable. Our tires have low rolling resistance and are free of harmful high-aromatic oils. Nokian Tyres operates one of the most eco-friendly tire factories in the world.
