Yokohama Rubber debuts mid-term management plan

Under its new YX2026 management plan, Yokohama Rubber intends to combat growing sales of budget consumer tyres with a strengthened focus on OE supply and also rapidly bring new and efficient plants online. Within the OHT segment, it will turn to mergers and acquisitions to bolster market share in specific areas. By fiscal 2026, the company aims for sales revenue of ¥1,150 billion (£6.1 billion), business profit of ¥130 billion (£688.9 million), a business profit margin of 11%, and ROE of more than 10%.
