Sailun Group Returns to Fortune China 500 List

July 21, 2026, the Fortune China website released the 2026 Fortune China 500 List. Sailun Group ranked 399th with operating revenue of $5.1188 billion, a steady rise compared to the previous year.

Record-Breaking Performance, Global Layout Stands Firmly at the Industry's Forefront

Financial data shows that in 2025, Sailun Group demonstrated strong momentum for leapfrog development, achieving annual operating revenue of 36.792 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.69%, setting a new record; net profit attributable to the parent company reached 3.522 billion yuan. Notably, the company's net operating cash flow increased significantly by 82.58% year-on-year to 4.179 billion yuan, showing strong "cash generation" capabilities. Regarding shareholder returns, the company plans to distribute cash dividends of 1.085 billion yuan, maintaining a high dividend payout ratio continuously.

As the first tire enterprise in China to build factories abroad, globalization has become the "stabilizer" of Sailun's performance. In 2025, Sailun's overseas main business revenue reached 28.226 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 18.54%, and the overseas planned production capacity scale remains number one among Chinese tire manufacturers. In recent years, with the successive commissioning of new factories in Mexico and Indonesia, and the acquisition of Bridgestone's Shenyang factory, Sailun's global layout has been comprehensively upgraded from a single capacity expansion to a competition for control of the industrial chain.

Brand Value Rises Year After Year, Surges to the Top of Chinese Tires

While both scale and performance increased, Sailun's brand dimension elevation was significant. In the 2026 "China 500 Most Valuable Brands" analysis report, Sailun ranked 97th with a brand value of 125.189 billion yuan, a significant increase of 12.293 billion yuan compared to last year, for the first time entering the top 100 of China's most valuable brands, achieving a steady rise for nine consecutive years.

On international authoritative lists, Sailun also performed brilliantly. According to the report "2026 Global Tire Brand Value Top 25" released by Brand Finance, Sailun ranked 10th globally with a brand value of $1.239 billion, a year-on-year increase of 37%, leading the growth rate among global top tire enterprises. As of now, Sailun has ranked first among Chinese tire brands for four consecutive years and has become the only Chinese tire brand to enter the top 10 of the global list.

Technology Leads New Outlook, "Liquid Gold" and "Aesthetic Innovation" Widen the Moat

The dual harvest of performance and brand could not happen without the continuous breakthrough of core technologies. In 2025, Sailun's R&D investment reached as high as 1.147 billion yuan. Relying on the core technology of "Liquid Gold" and the industrialization landing in the super-large tire field, Sailun continuously consolidates its technical barriers.

Facing the continuous rise in new energy vehicle penetration rates, Sailun seized new heights in the market with the dual-wheel drive of "Silence + Aesthetics". The company has increased its silence tire capacity to 5 million tires/year, and boldly innovated in tire aesthetics, launching the world's first colored-edge tire. The product is equipped with ARMOR SEAL self-sealing technology and SILENT TREAD silent foam technology. While achieving "Safety, Silence, Energy Saving" triple performance improvements, it broke the traditional black uniformity of tires with 0.01mm level traditional inkstone texture paired with seven high-end color schemes. Sailun successfully rose from a technology follower to the definers of new global tire aesthetics standards, precisely meeting the new standard requirements for silence, green, and safety in the new energy vehicle market.

Entering the first quarter of 2026, Sailun's revenue and net profit continued to grow in both areas, with gross margin rising to 26.86%. Taking the 2026 Fortune China 500 List as a new starting point, Sailun Group is using technological innovation as the foundation and globalization capacity as wings, continuously polishing the world calling card of Chinese tire brands, setting a positive benchmark for the industrial upgrading and high-quality overseas expansion of China's manufacturing industry.
