Hankook Tire announced plans for a high-tech Research and Development centre in Korea. The facility will be built by Foster+Partners, an architecture firm that's responsible for the famous Millau overpass in France and McLaren's production centre in the U.K., among others.
Featuring innovative design, the new R&D centre will put an emphasis on building the future, including a seven-story tire auto-stacking system and smart information system. It will also provide scientists and technicians with a dedicated environment to develop high-quality products.
Construction should be over by the end of 2015, with the site covering a total area of 99,175 square metres.
