Goodyear announced shutting down its factory in Venezuela in mid-December, citing hyperinflation and economic crisis in the South American country. The company, which employed over 1,200 people, said it would pay severance packages to its staff and give 10 tires to each of the employees.

Notably, the company said it did not authorize anyone to manufacture tires under its trademark in Venezuela.

Goodyear was the latest foreign corporation to cease its operations in the crisis-torn country.
