The New Investment at the Factory in São Paulo
Officially called Test Center Latam, the future facility at the factory in São Paulo will be responsible for testing all tires manufactured by the company in the country and will be submitted for accreditation by Inmetro to ensure that the evaluated products can receive the certifications stipulated by the agency.
“The new Test Center Latam, which we are developing at the Santo André factory, will be very important for us to act in an even more agile and integrated manner with all our areas,” explains Luiz Mari, Prometeon’s Director of Research and Development for the Americas. “By making the process more efficient, we will save time and can develop better products more quickly. This is a great step for the evolution of the company and our range of products, always seeking the best for our customers.”
