Yokohama Reopens Mississippi Tire Plant

Yokohama Corporation of North America (YCNA) has announced that its plant in West Point, Mississippi, has reopened.

Yokohama Tire Manufacturing Mississippi (YTMM), which produces commercial truck tires, came back online April 27. The plant temporarily closed as a precautionary measure in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

To ensure the health and welfare of all personnel upon their return, YTMM has implemented several new safety procedures at the plant based on the latest guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as from local authorities.

Several preventative measures are also in effect at all Yokohama facilities.
