Apollo Tyres has confirmed that its wholly owned Dutch subsidiary, Apollo Tyres (NL) B.V. (ATNL), has officially ended tyre production and related operations at its manufacturing facility in Enschede.

The closure took effect at the close of business on 30 June 2026, after the company obtained all the required approvals.

Apollo Tyres first announced plans to close the facility in April 2025. At the time, the company cited “macro-economic disruptions, steep increases in energy and labour costs, along with a decline in demand for Spacemaster and Agri tyres” as the reasons behind the decision.

The company also said that “pricing pressure from low-cost competitors” had made production at the Enschede facility uncompetitive.
