Our focus in 2025 is to work to improve communication throughout the facility. We are committed to this effort and will continue to do so. Unfortunately, sometimes misinformation can be spread by third parties which can mislead us and cause confusion. Some of you have let us know this happened a few days ago.

We understand that the Steelworkers union sent a text to many of you with misleading information regarding our Company’s performance in 2024. Hankook Tire is a multinational corporation with operations in various countries. We are very proud of what we have built here in Clarksville and are excited about the upcoming expansion and the years to come. We believe the future is bright.

At Hankook, we believe in working directly with our employees to build a strong, supportive workplace. Our company is growing, and that’s thanks to the dedication and talent you bring every day. We believe in continuing to improve together, as one team.

As we let you know recently, 2024 was a difficult year for TP. Our facility lost 2% profit and faced many challenges as we worked through growing pains. Still, we feel much better about this year and the future years to come. We have a good thing going here thanks to your hard work and the dedication of the team.

This is why it’s so important to work together and avoid the divisiveness and mistruths that can arise from incomplete or inaccurate information. We are stronger when we unite, share the facts, and continue to work as one team toward shared goals. Open, honest communication. is our commitment to you as our valued team members

We will continue to keep you updated on TP’s financial condition and performance and opportunities on the horizon. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please reach out to your group leader, manager, or member of Human Resources. We appreciate your commitment and look forward on working with you to make TP as good as it can be.
