MICHELIN'S ACTIVITIES IN THE UK

Michelin's UK head office and commercial headquarters is in Stoke-on-Trent with a truck tyre retreading factory. 

The internationally-renowned Michelin Training and Information Centre in Stoke-on-Trent pushes up standards with programmes aimed at transforming knowledge, safety and service across the tyre industry and beyond.

We operate a customer service centre for the UK & Ireland from our Stoke-on-Trent headquarters which provides the first line of contact between us and our customers.

Manufacturing: Retreading in Stoke-on-Trent

At the Stoke-on-Trent factory we retread truck tyres allowing hauliers to get significant extra mileage from their tyres for relatively little extra cost. This also benefits the environment as it reduces the amount of tyre casings that have to be scrapped. These products are branded as Remix and Encore.

Economic development: Michelin Development

Michelin has always been involved in supporting local communities, both socially through participation in local initiatives and in the form of business mentoring and low-cost business loans through Michelin Development. Michelin Development helps local businesses grow and it creates high-quality, sustainable jobs.

Working in conjunction with regional development agencies, local government and business support agencies in Ballymena and Stoke-on-Trent, Michelin Development also aims to stimulate employment creation by attracting inward investment.
