Cheng Shin to Build New Taiwan Plant

Sources reported by China Knowledge indicate that Taiwan based Cheng Shin Rubber will invest NT$12 billion (£223.5 million) establishing a new tyre manufacturing facility in its home market. Construction work on the new plant is expected to get underway in June 2010 and be completed a year later. According to a company financial executive the facility will hold an initial capacity of 14,000 passenger car tyres and 3,000 truck and bus tyres; output from the new site will help raise Chen Shin’s passenger car tyre production capacity by 10 to 15 per cent.
