Michelin Ballymena site to be turned into business park following factory closure

摘要

Michelin has announced plans to convert part of the site of its closing Northern Ireland manufacturing plant to a business park following its sale to Silverwood Property Developments. The tyre manufacturer will complete the closure of its Ballymena, Northern Ireland plant in June, after the last tyre rolls off its production line in April, ending 50 years of manufacturing. Some of the site - reportedly around 10 acres - has been earmarked for Mid and East Antrim Borough Council, as it attempts to win its bid to host a regional Heathrow Logistics Hub, supporting proposed construction work at the West London airport.
