Nankang Rubber Tire Corporation Ltd is the longest established tyre manufacturer in Taiwan, having started operations way back in 1940. Based originally upon the principals of Japanese manufacturing technologies, Nankang Rubber Tire Corp has grown substantially in its pursuit for product excellence. Its 2 Taiwanese plants (Nankang & 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 latest expansion ensures economies of scale for the future development of Nankang's progressive product range.
