Ownership: Nokian Tyres is a publicly listed Finnish company (Helsinki Stock Exchange: TYRES). Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the company divested its Russian manufacturing operations entirely, a move that was costly but repositioned it as a fully European brand. No significant non-European controlling shareholders.
Known for: The undisputed category leader in Nordic winter and all-season tyres. Inventor of the modern winter tyre and creator of the Hakkapeliitta, the benchmark for ice and snow performance used by Nordic drivers, Canadian fleets, and Alpine professionals. The WR (all-weather) range is also a strong choice for drivers in variable European climates.
Manufactured in: Headquartered in Nokia, Finland. Primary production in Oulu, Finland and Damastown, Ireland (new facility opened 2023).
