ZC Rubber Thailand has added a two-wheel production line at its Thailand facility and produced its first bias industrial tire and motorcycle tire for the Southeast Asian market.

The Thailand plant was built in 2015 and expanded ZC Rubber’s manufacturing footprint to 9 factories. The facility has since grown its capacity for passenger car tires to 5 million units, with 1.4 million capacity for TBR tires. Phase Two of the factory started in 2016 and focused on two-wheel and bias tires. Motorcycle tire capacity at the Thailand factory is expected to reach 3,000-5,000 units per day.

“The place here has developed from an only piece of empty land into a modern factory relying on everyone’s efforts, which carry forward the spirit of indomitability and innovation owned by the proactive culture of ZC Rubber,” said Zhang Liming, vice president of ZC Rubber.

The tiremaker adds that additional new products will be introduced based on driver feedback and dealer requests.
