Pirelli have officially inaugurated its “Factory of Champions” at their plant in Izmit, Turkey, which is where the company will produce all of the tyres for the Formula One teams during the 2001 to 2013 seasons. The factory is celebrating its 50thanniversary since opening and the Italian tyre maker started operating in Turkey.
Izmit has the largest unit output of any Pirelli tyre, producing eight million tyres for cars, trucks and motorsport each year. The group has invested 140 million Euros over the last 10 years and they have plans to invest a further 30 million Euros in 2011 to support expansion in Turkey and the nearby emerging markets.
The Izmit production site has been home to Pirelli’s motorsport tyre production since 2007 and in conjunction with the company’s research development centre in Milan, will become the heart of Pirelli’s Formula One activities at the aptly named “Factory of Champions”.
