11:46 PM EDT, 09/22/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Pirelli (PIRC.MI) secured approval from a majority of its directors for a 1 billion-euro investment to expand its Rome plant in the US state of Georgia. The Italian tire manufacturer said the multi-year expansion plan kicking off in 2027 will increase annual production at the plant to 6 million tires, according to a Tuesday release. It added that the project will not affect targets for 2026. Three directors, however, opposed the investment plan.
