Linglong Tire


Shandong Linglong Tire Co., Ltd. is a Chinese tire manufacturing enterprise, which has been among the global top 20 tire enterprises and top five in China for many years.
Linglong Tire has established manufacturing bases in Zhaoyuan, Dezhou, Liuzhou and Thailand. The company opened its first overseas plant in 2014, a passenger tire factory in Chonburi, Thailand, and added capacity in 2015 for truck/bus tires.
In 2018, Linglong Tire announced in February its plan to build a fourth China site with nearly 14.5 million unit total annual capacity in Jingmen, Hubei Province, China.
In March, 2019, Linglong launched construction of second overseas manufacturing base in Zrenjanin, Province of Vojvodina in Serbia, which is a new milestone for the company. Planned capacity is 13.6 million tires annually. Plant cost is about $994 million, on 136 hectare in industrial and free trade zone. Planned production start is in 2021.
The brand attracted controversy when a test carried out by Consumer Reports showed that the tires required an extra 22 feet to stop from 50 mph compared to the best tires they tested. The company's booth at SEMA, an industry event, was seized as a result of unpaid bills.
