Bridgestone to expand motorcycle tire production in Japan

Manufacturer Bridgestone announced that it will invest $12.6 million in its Nasu plant in Japan to increase motorcycle tire production capacity by approximately 90,000 units starting in 2026.

In addition to the capacity expansion work, the Nasu plant will adopt technologies acquired through Bridgestone's participation in motorsports. This way, the tire manufacturer aims to accelerate sales of its Battlax tire line.
