But the three new plants are no match in production to the retreading facility in the company's hometown of Wilkes-Barre. Bridgestone officially touts it as the largest Bandag retread plant in North America. It contains two production lines: one is for medium truck tires, while the other is dedicated to wide-base tires and tires that require more-involved repairs, such as waste load tires. Combined, the plant has the capacity to retread 1,000 truck tires a day. It's running about 850 truck tires a day, and operating 23 hours a day, five days a week. Andy Kopko manages the retread plant, and points to a plaque hanging on the wall that Bridgestone presented to McCarthy Tire Service commemorating the day of its grand opening in October 2016. Bridgestone calls it the largest Bandag retread plant "in the universe."
