NO FIRE AT YOKOHAMA OFF-HIGHWAY ISRAEL FACTORY: REPORTS WERE WRONG

An erroneous report of a fire at Yokohama Off-Highway Tires plant in Hadera, Israel, has caused confusion in the tire industry. Yokohama Off-Highway Tires officials confirm that there was NO fire at the facility.

“All our plants in Japan, India and Israel are fully functional and running well, and there was no fire as was reported, in Hadera,” said Anil Gupta, COO of Yokohama Off-Highway Tires.
