Bridgestone's decision to invest in the third warehouse in Da Nang City that expresses the strength and wise management in Central Vietnam in particular and Vietnam in general. First and foremost, Da Nang is strategically located in Central Vietnam with modern infrastructure, which can fully meet the demand in supply chain and distribution system. Secondly, Bridgestone has foreseen the prospect of the tire market in Vietnam in the future. The fact that the Ministry of Finance has proposed drastically reducing tariffs on auto parts under the tax incentives program from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2022 is a good sign for the development of the automobile industry with the high requirement for components such as tubes, tires ...
