According to reports, on March 9, local time, the groundbreaking ceremony of the expansion project of Bridgestone Wilson Car Tire Factory was held
.
The project is located in North Carolina, USA, with a total investment of estimated $164 million

Bridgestone expects the plant to have a capacity of 35,000 tires
per day by 2018.
