Sava renamed Goodyear Dunlop Sava Tires

The plant Sava in Kranj, Slovenia
From tomorrow, 1 July, the Slovenian Sava Tires Goodyear Dunlop will change name in Sava Tires. The announcement was made by the company itself at a press conference held on June 28. The decision to change the company name has been taken to align the name of the establishment of the Sava with the other group companies Goodyear Dunlop Tires Europe and, by this choice, we would expect a higher visibility and a strengthening of the company on the Slovenian market.
