Apollo Tyres hopes to double exports to Europe

28 Nov 2011 Evaluate

With its newly commissioned Chennai facility on course to operate at the terminal capacity, Apollo Tyres Ltd is expecting to double the export of Apollo branded tyres to 100,000 pieces a month, to Europe, in a little over six months. Plans are also afoot to stretch the production of the Netherlands based Apollo Vredestein to 6.5 million tyres a year – over and above the expanded rated capacity of 6 million pieces.

With higher capacity in place, exports to Europe are increasing steadily and have touched 50,000 tyres a month this quarter. The company is hopeful to push the exports to 1,00,000 tyres a month, tentatively in the first quarter of 2012

With an EBIT (earnings before interest and tax) of 10 per cent, the European business was a major contributor to Apollo's consolidated profit of Rs 78 crore (Rs 53 crore) during the July-September 2011 quarter. According to the company, the early rush for winter tyres was a major reason behind the improved performance in Europe in the last quarter.
