It Took Only 233 Days for ZC Rubber’s Indonesian Plant to Roll Its First Tyre Out
ZC Rubber announced that its new Indonesian subsidiary, PT. Matahari Tire Indonesia (MTI), has successfully produced its first all-steel radial tyre. This milestone was celebrated with an official ceremony at the MTI factory in the Kendal Industrial Park, Semarang, Indonesia.
To commemorate this occasion, ZC Rubber Chairman Mr. Shen Jinrong, alongside other company leaders, signed the first all-steel radial tyre produced at the MTI plant, marking a pivotal step forward for the company’s operations in Indonesia and its global aspirations.
MTI‘s factory, covering 500,000 square metres, plays a vital role in ZC Rubber’s global expansion strategy. Located in a region rich in natural rubber resources, the facility is equipped with cutting-edge digital technology and staffed by a highly skilled workforce. While still in the ramp-up phase, the production of the first tyre marks significant progress toward meeting the growing demand for high-quality tyres in both local and international markets, including the United States.
Mr. Wang Xianning, Vice President of ZC Rubber and General Manager of MTI, highlighted the significance of the achievement. “In just 233 days, we went from groundbreaking to the first tyre off the line. This rapid progress sets a new benchmark for overseas tyre plant construction and demonstrates our team’s dedication and expertise,” he said in an official statement.
ZC Rubber’s investment in Indonesia not only provides access to vital raw materials but also strengthens its global supply chain. The facility is poised to serve local needs and support ZC Rubber’s international market expansion, reinforcing the company’s commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainable development.
In his remarks, Mr. Shen Jinrong added, “The first tyre from MTI symbolizes the beginning of a new chapter in our global strategy. We will continue focusing on sustainable development, innovation-driven productivity, and delivering high-quality products as we advance our global expansion.”
The production of MTI’s first all-steel radial tyre is just the beginning. With the second phase of the construction underway, ZC Rubber plans to enhance production capacity and deepen its presence in international markets.
