Michelin Visit
Posted by Ian Headley 06/20/2008 - 12:28:22 PM
Jim DeMint visits Lexington Michelin facility

Recently Senator DeMint visited the Midlands and toured one of two Michelin plants located in Lexington. The two plants employ around 1,600 people.

One plant makes performance tires for high end cars, but the plant Senator DeMint visited makes giant tires that fit on huge dump trucks used at mining operations.

Catepillar 797B

These aren’t the Tonka trucks you played with when you were little. These tires go on the Caterpillar 797B Ultra-Class Mining Truck.

In fact, Michelin is the only company in the world that makes the tires for these trucks.

Michelin is known for its high quality tires, and it is a quality partner for the community of Lexington by supporting the local schools and many worthy causes.
