    Continental suspends tire production in Mayfield

    MAYFIELD, Ky.-Continental Tire North America Inc. has suspended indefinitely tire production at its Mayfield plant, putting 650 hourly and 80 salaried employees out of their jobs effective Dec. 31.

    As announced earlier, mixing and warehousing operations will continue.

    Conti said it is offering severance benefits based upon years of service to laid-off salaried employees, an undisclosed number of whom have accepted positions at other company facilities.

    Affected hourly employees will receive layoff benefits under the collective bargaining agreement between Conti and the United Steelworkers of America, the company said.

    The union broke off negotiations with Conti Nov. 19 over a severance package for hourly production workers. The tire maker said it is willing to discuss a severance package but no talks are scheduled.

    Pirelli to add distribution center for eastern U.S.

    ROME, Ga.-Pirelli Tire North America Inc. and its logistics partner Kuehne + Nagel International have selected an industrial park southeast of Atlanta for a distribution center to service customers throughout the eastern U.S.

    The warehouse-about 20 miles southeast of Atlanta in McDonough, Ga.-is situated to serve not only Pirelli's factory in nearby Rome, Ga., but also to receive more than 2,000 containers of tires from Pirelli factories in Europe and South America shipped through the port of Savannah, Ga., the tire maker said.

    The 247,000-sq.-ft. facility is designed to house more than $35 million worth of inventory, Pirelli said.

    Pirelli only recently selected Kuehne + Nagel as its logistics partner to help it manage inbound receipt, storage and distribution of Pirelli tires to customers in the U.S.
