Tires

History

Nankang Rubber Tire Corporation Ltd is the largest established tire manufacturer in Taiwan, having been started in 1940 by a group of engineers. Based originally upon the principles of Japanese manufacturing technologies, the company has grown substantially. Its two Taiwanese plants (Nankang and Hsinfung) continue to manufacture the bulk of Nankang's product. September 2003 marked the commencement of production at Nankang's Jiangsu facility in mainland China. This expansion ensures economies of scale for the future development of Nankang's product range.[2]

Product quality

The corporation has Ford Motor Company's Q1 Certification and in 1994 obtained ISO-9001 certification.[3]

It manufactures tires for brands such as Geostar, Milestar, and Provato.

Global markets

Today, Nankang tires are exported from Taiwan to over 100 markets worldwide. Tires are supplied to more than 300 distributors throughout Europe, North America, Central and South America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Australia.
