New Linglong Tire sales company in North America

Linglong Tire has established a new wholly owned subsidiary in North America to expand its footprint in the region. As of this month, Geoff Doster, former president and chief operating officer of TBC Corporation’s TBC Brands and TBC International operations, heads the new Linglong N.A. Sales LLC business as its president. Linglong will announce further additions to the team in due course.

“Geoff is a respected leader in our industry and I’m confident that his extensive experience, leadership style, and entrepreneurial spirit will continue to propel us forward as we navigate our journey of strategic growth while never straying from our foundation, core values and steadfast commitment to our customers and the communities we serve,” states Wang Feng, chairman and chief executive officer of Linglong Tire.

“I’m deeply honoured to have been identified as the leader to spearhead the North American growth initiatives for Linglong Tire and eager to begin supporting our customers, dedicated teammates, valued partners and the industry as a whole,” says Doster. “The prospect of shaping the future of a brand that values quality, customers and teammates while striving to be a first-class enterprise is both exciting and rewarding.”

Prior to joining Linglong, Geoff Doster was an executive vice president of TBC Corporation as well as president and chief operating officer for TBC Brands and TBC International. He held a number of roles during his almost 20 years at TBC Corporation, which he joined from Michelin in November 2003. Doster began his tyre industry career with the firm in 1997.
