In his speech, Janne Seurujärvi, Managing Director of UTAC Finland, praised NEXEN TIRE's commitment and vision: "I would like to congratulate the NEXEN TIRE team in advance. Their future looks bright. In this fiercely competitive industry, manufacturers who invest boldly in research and development, as well as in winter tyre testing, are the ones who succeed. Higher quality products, a stronger brand, increased sales: this is the opportunity now in front of them.”
