Domestic Tires Made by North Americans, for North American Drivers
Our North American tire factory in Dayton, Tennessee produces car and light truck all-season tires, all-terrain tires and all-weather tires tailored to meet the demands of North American drivers. While some of our manufacturing is located in Tennessee, we've maintained our Finnish roots by staying committed to safe, sustainable products and processes.
Join our efforts to support North American manufacturing
We've invested more than $500 million in our factory to serve customers across the United States and Canada. Production at the factory started in 2020, and a 600,000-tire warehouse opened at the site in 2024. By 2027, Dayton factory production will account for a quarter of Nokian Tyres' global passenger car tire production.
Dayton Factory Philosophy
Safety
Safety is not only the result of safe products. For us, it's vitally important to cultivate a safe working culture and environment for our people. By operating responsibly and sustainably, we foster a safe place for employees to complete their work and to speak up when they want to. We recognize and respect that it's our people who make our business run.
We Care
Local Manufacturing
We believe that thriving domestic production offers a buffer against global uncertainty, which is why we have built factories in each of our major market areas: North America, Central Europe, and the Nordics.
Sustainability Pioneer
The Dayton Factory was designed at the forefront of sustainable innovation. It's one of the most sustainable production factories in the industry. It's the first tire production building in the world to earn LEED v4 Silver certification -- a testament to its low emissions and energy efficiency -- and its LEED v4 Gold-certified administration building is fully powered by energy generated from onsite solar panels.
