Charles City, IA – Mitas loaded and expedited the 100th truck of farm tires made in Charles City. “This delivery is intended for American farmers,” said Pavel Charvat, the president of Mitas’ North American subsidiary. Some of Mitas’ tires are also exported abroad. Mitas’ Moscow sales office has confirmed that the first two containers of tires made in Iowa were delivered to customers in Russia.
“Mitas continues installing additional tire-building machines and curing presses,” Charvat said. “This week, Mitas has reached yet another milestone. It now employs 150 locals. By mid-2013, Mitas plans to have 237 full-time employees,” Charvat added. By that time, the plant will have reached its full planned production capacity of 13,500 metric tons of tires a year.
