The new company is forecasted to rapidly expand investing up to 40 million Euros in the next three years, being able to produce – when fully operative – 30,000 tons of steel cord per year, with about 350 employees. Cord Romania will thus be able to meet the growing demand of this important component for tyres in the area, at present exceeding almost two times the offer. Steel cord is used by tyre producers as main reinforcement material for radial tyres.
