ZC Rubber‘s Phase I production at its new Indonesian plant, which operates under the name of Matahari Tire Indonesia (MTI), in Kendal Industrial Park, Central Java, has officially commenced.
To commemorate the occasion, a gathering was held in the facility. Several prominent figures, including officials from the Central Java Provincial Government, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Kendal Industrial Park executives, and over 300 global dealers and suppliers, were present.

Once fully operational, it is expected to generate an annual revenue of approximately $720 million.
Construction of the plant began in January 2024 and, in just 233 days, the first all-steel radial tyre was produced, with official production commencing within the same year.
During the ceremony, ZC Rubber Chairman, Mr Shen Jinrong, emphasized the plant’s importance to the company’s global strategy, calling it a cornerstone of ZC Rubber’s commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainable growth.
