New facility is also home to a Firestone Complete Auto Care lab store.

Bridgestone Americas has officially opened its Bridgestone Operations Center in Antioch. The facility is home to 450 staff and contractors who recently moved into the facility.

This grand opening is the first of two openings for the company this year. Its new downtown headquarters, the Bridgestone Tower, is scheduled to be operational as of September 1, with a celebration planned for December.

“The vibrant environment in Antioch is the perfect home for the Bridgestone Operations Center,” said Gordon Knapp, CEO and President of Bridgestone Americas. “Hundreds of our teammates in financial shared services, IT and customer support now call Antioch home, and we are looking forward to being an active part of this community. It is the first step this year in bringing all of our core business operations to Nashville. Without a doubt, our teammates are excited to live, work and raise their families in the greatest city in the U.S.”
