DN Tyre and Rubber Plc (formerly known as Dunlop Nigeria Plc) has intensified ongoing discussions with Edo State government as part of measures to revive local manufacturing.<\/p>\n

According to the company, the development is in-line with a 10-year strategic business plan.<\/p>\n

The company is currently marketing the business plan to potential investors, after which it would seek technical partners.<\/p>\n

Though the company is yet to make its discussions with Edo State public, it has, however, intensified efforts to get technical partners.<\/p>\n

In a notice to the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), Dunlop explained that a state government is setting up an industrial park, with provision for an automobile cluster and tyre manufacturing plant.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s stock was last traded in October 2018 and has been labelled Delisting In Progress (DIP) by the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE).<\/p>

According to the firm, it had recorded significant results with the Federal Government, pertaining to the conclusion of a new automotive policy which had taken into account some policies that had an adverse effect on the company.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Dunlop has retained its majority holding in Pamol Nigeria Limited, its subsidiary which manages rubber plantations.<\/p>\n

In 2005, DN Tyre spent $50 million on a truck tyre project. The Federal Government in 2006, reduced the tariff on imported tyres from 40% to 10%.<\/p>\n

This, coupled with poor power supply led to the company shutting down operations in 2008. In a bid to pay off N8 billion in loans, the firm in 2012, decided to sell several assets. The transaction was eventually completed in 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
