    US tire maker leaves Venezuela after six decades in the country

    Bridgestone says the sale will have no financial impact because it already has written off its investments in the crisis-wracked country.

    United States tire maker Bridgestone is selling its business in Venezuela after six decades in the country, the latest blue chip company to abandon the country as a result of runaway inflation and strict currency controls. Bridgestone Americas said in a statement Monday that it is selling its Venezuela assets to Grupo Corimon, a local industrialist. It says the company will be called Alice Neumaticos de Venezuela.
