Trend-sensitive business
The pricing competition in the tyre market is fierce. The demand is clearly influenced by the volumes of machinery and equipment manufacture. The manufacture of forestry machines has been boosted by the mechanisation of harvesting around the world. Forestry tyres have been our biggest sales item for decades. Over the past few years, Nokian Heavy Tyres has made continuous investments in product development and production enhancement in other product segments, as well, and the share of agricultural, mining and harbour tyres in our total sales is now increasing.Nokian agricultural tyres are gentle on the environment. Our harbour and mining tyres feature rubber compounds, treads and structures designed to withstand extreme wear and tear. These tyres are used, for example, in reach stackers, straddle carriers, RTG cranes, mine loaders and drill rigs and supporting machinery to mines.
