Leading local portal Aftermarket China has published its annual ‘Top 100 Chains in China’s Automotive Aftermarket’ ranking, and three tyre retail operations appear on the list in 2023. ZR Rubber is one of the trio and appears pleased with the result; commenting on its network’s performance, the tyre maker states an ambition to go global with ZC Auto Space.
“We are delighted to be recognised as one of the leading automotive aftermarket retail chain brands in China,” states ZC Rubber. “This achievement reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering customer-focused services. Moreover, we are also actively innovating and investing to expand the ZC Auto Space service model globally.”
ZC Rubber established ZC Auto Space in 2015 and opened its first outlet outside China two years later in Thailand. The network offers tyre repair, car maintenance and roadside assistance and currently consists of 605 retail chain stores across China, five of which are wholly owned and the remainder franchise stores. Regarding future growth, ZC Rubber once again emphasises its ambitions by stating that the ZC Auto Space remit will extend “potentially worldwide in the future.”
Aftermarket China ranked Michelin TyrePlus sixth in its top 100. ZC Auto Space follows in 14th place and Linglong Car Maintenance Station is 22nd.
