The first high-performance PCR tyre produced overseas successfully rolled off the production line at Wanli Tire’s Cambodia production base recently, marking a key step forward in the group’s tyre business in its global industrial layout.
The base will officially start production early next year, which will further enhance Wanli Tire’s supply capacity in overseas markets and provide global customers with more efficient and higher-quality products and services, the Chinese tyre maker says.
Wanli Tire’s Cambodia base is the first overseas production base for the company. It adds that it is committed to becoming a benchmark factory for China’s tyre industry to “going global” in terms of production capacity.
Once fully operational, the project will have an annual production capacity of 12 million PCR tyres. The successful rollout of the first tyre marks the completion of the initial construction and equipment commissioning of the base, which has officially entered the trial production stage, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent large-scale production of the base.
Since its groundbreaking ceremony in January 2025, Wanli Tire’s Cambodia base has overcome multiple challenges, including transnational collaboration and localised operations.
In recent years, Wanli Tire has accelerated its capacity expansion and actively expanded into international markets. The annual production capacity of semi-steel tyres at its base in Guangzhou has increased from 15 million to 30 million, making it one of the largest single tyre factories in China, it claims.
In the first three quarters of this year, Wanli Tire’s sales of PCR and TBR tyres increased by 22.2% and 9.2% year-on-year respectively.
