There are many changes in our latest leading tyre manufacturers ranking.

Sailun plans to launch OTR tyre project

On 2 March 2023 the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Shandong Province stated that it agreed to Zhucheng Yong’an Rubber Technology (Yong’an Rubber) to undergo a “capacity replacement” at its tyre production facility. The company in Zhucheng, Weifang, plans to dismantle the production capacity of 300,000 all-steel radial tyres and 5.46 million semi-steel radial tyres and launch a project with an annual output of 70,100 tons of OTR tyres. The Chinese government calls this behaviour “capacity replacement”, meaning that a company must withdraw its equivalent production capacity if it wants to build a new project. Tyrepress’ sister website, Tyrepress China notes that Yong’an Rubber had undergone bankruptcy and reorganisation in 2020-21, having been acquired by Sailun.
