Yokohama Tire Corporation Targets Concord for Technical Development Center <br />Yokohama Tire Corporation's plans to establish a Technical Development Center in Concord will create up <br />to 56 jobs and invest nearly $2.7 million into the local economy. According to a release issued by Gov. Pat <br />McCrory's office, the Japan -based global manufacturing and sales company of premium tires will employ <br />engineers, technicians, management staff and others at the Technical Development Center. "After <br />extensive research for the ideal location to consolidate our R &D activities, we found North Carolina to <br />have the perfect combination of a high - quality workforce and close proximity to a major international <br />airport," said Tetsuya Kuze, vice president of Yokohama Corporation of North America (YCNA). <br />YCNA oversees all Yokohama - related operations in North America including sales and marketing, <br />manufacturing, technical development, long -term corporate planning and investment. Kuze added that <br />Yokohama has yet to finalize the Technical Center's exact permanent location. <br />"On behalf of the Cabarrus Economic Development Corporation, we are excited to bring Yokohama into <br />the Concord and Cabarrus community," said Robert Carney, executive director. "They are a globally - <br />recognized brand and we believe this is just the beginning of a long and mutually successful relationship." <br />Click here to read more. <br />Noteworthy News & Events <br />• LeeAnn Nixon attended the 2016 Southeast Region <br />Aerospace Supplier & Advanced Manufacturing Summit. <br />Barry Eccleston, President of Airbus Americas, was the <br />keynote speaker at the Summit.
