Morrocco first – Sentury Tire redirects funds earmarked for Spanish plant

,

Sentury Tire has disclosed that it will invest the approximately RMB 2.8 billion (£313 million) it raised to set up a factory in Spain in the construction of its Moroccan plant instead. The motivation behind this decision, says Sentury Tire, is that while the facility in Spain is still in the “approval process” with no clear indication of when this will conclude, the tyre plant in Morrocco is “progressing well” and has a greater need for capital expenditures.

Landsail brand designed to fulfil value SUV tyre demand

If the market data is right, 2024 could be another busy year for SUV tyre sales. For garages, it means more and more SUVs coming in for tyre maintenance checks or new tyres. SUV drivers don’t necessarily need to be serious off-roaders. Unintentionally, drivers often find themselves changing from smooth surfaces, such as motorways, to country lanes or off-road driveways, not to mention the number of potholes on the roads in the UK. Couple this with unpredictable spring and summer weather, and having tyres that give them peace of mind, as well as excellent handling and reliability, is important.

Landsail 4Seasons Van engineered to meet market demands

Landsail

While the tyres featured in these pages represent some of the best and most popular products on the market, van fleet managers and operators have a bewildering amount of choice. The Tyre Industry Federation says that more than 300 brands sourced from more than 45 countries are on sale in the UK alone, the majority of them targeting van operators for whom a low purchase price is a key consideration. One brand that combines a relatively low purchase price with widespread penetration in the UK and beyond is Landsail. The Sentury Tire-produced brand’s latest van tyre is designed to meet UK performance targets: an all-season design for increased confidence in extreme conditions and tricky terrains, whilst offering a level of economy for drivers as there is no need to switch tyres from summer to winter.

Sentury Tire intends to build 523m euro Spanish tyre plant

,

Sentury Tire, the tyre manufacturer behind the global Landsail tyre brand, has outlined its plan to construct a 522.59 million euro car and light truck tyre plant in the Galicia region of northwest Spain. Qingdao Sentury Tire Co, Ltd’s board of directors approved the proposal to build capacity for 12 million high performance and light commercial tyres on a three-year schedule at a meeting in the last quarter of 2021, announcing this intention to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange on 19 December. The company has implemented a 100 per cent owned subsidiary, Sentury Tire (Spain) Co, Ltd, via its Hong Kong trading company for the project, and wants to ramp up production in two phases; it expects the plant to reach 50 per cent capacity (six million tyres) after two years, with the second half added after three years. Sentury wants to achieve these milestones in 2024 and 2025 respectively, pending construction conditions in Spain and the availability of funding, which Sentury plans to self-raise.

It says its LS588 and LS388 ranges offer a range of options with the correct load and speed rating for EVs.
