Apollo Tyres invests in quality: new winter testing facility in Finland to accelerate time-to-market

The opening of the testing center in Ivalo marks a strategic shift in Apollo Tyres' R&D strategy. Through its partnership with UTAC, the company has gained access to infrastructure that enables it to conduct independent testing on ice and snow with high data accuracy.

For Apollo Tyres, this means not only reducing logistical costs but also the ability to test innovative rubber compound formulations faster. In an environment where winter tires must combine extreme grip and all-season versatility, having its own testing grounds becomes a critical advantage, enabling the company to quickly bring more secure and advanced products to the market.
