Company profile
The plant was established in 1964. The history of the enterprise is rich in important events. Voltyre-Prom was the first in the country to produce wide section tires as well as radial tires using the tread winding method. In the recent years, the acquisition of Voltyre-Prom by Titan International, Inc. has been the most significant event. Titan International, Inc. partnered with the One Equity Partners Fund and the Russian Direct Investment Fund in order to close the acquisition. This way, the enterprise became a part of a large international production corporation with a portfolio of tires under such brands as TITAN and Goodyear Farm. At the same time, Voltyre-Prom retains its identity on the Russian market and continues to produce tires that have already become indispensable for the agricultural industry under the VOLTYRE brand. Prior to acquisition, Voltyre-Prom has been one of the largest enterprises in the industry with 43% market share in agriculture tires and 16% market share in industrial tires in Russia. Strategic potential of the company is determined by three main elements: technology, experience and people. Working with such legendary brands as TITAN and Goodyear Farm allows the company to be up to date with the newest tire production technologies. Voltyre-Prom has been on the market for half-century and that kind of experience complemented by the skilled team gives the company a distinctive advantage in the tire market. At the moment, the company employs a team of one thousand people. And this number has not changed for about three years. This is a very strong indicator, given the constant growth of the production capacity. Thanks to the employees and their well-coordinated work, in 2016 Voltyre-Prom became the leader among Russian tire companies in terms of labor productivity growth, according to the All-Russian rating Labor productivity. The company has achieved its success thanks to the understanding of customer needs and the development of new products based on the market demand.
