List Announced! Sentury Tires Ranks on List

Recently, the Federation of Industry and Commerce of Shandong Province, in conjunction with multiple departments, released the "Announcement on the Public Notice of the Shortlisted Names for the 2026 Shandong Private Enterprise 100 Strong Series List". Qingdao Sentury Tires Co., Ltd. successfully made it to the 2026 Shandong Private Enterprise Top 200 List.

Joint Organization by Nine Departments, Standardized Process for Evaluation

This list was jointly organized and implemented by nine departments including the Shandong Federation of Industry and Commerce, the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, and the Provincial Department of Science and Technology. The shortlisted public notice list was formed according to standardized procedures such as enterprise declaration, city recommendation, expert review, and soliciting opinions from various member units. The public notice period is 5 working days (September 4, 2026 — September 10, 2026). The list adheres to the principles of openness, fairness, and impartiality, serving as an important reference for measuring the development level of private enterprises in Shandong Province.

Overseas Revenue Proportion 92.98%, Global Layout Formed

Sentury was founded in 2007 and is a private tire enterprise in the domestic tire industry with the "earliest overseas expansion and highest export proportion". In the first half of 2026, the proportion of the company's export and overseas income reached 92.98%, and products are exported to over 150 countries and regions.

The company primarily produces semi-steel radial tires, all-steel radial tires, and aircraft tires, with global production bases built in Qingdao, Thailand, Morocco, etc. In recent years, the company has continued to increase investment in scientific research and innovation, building intelligent manufacturing factories, and continuously breaking through in areas such as product R&D, intelligent manufacturing, and brand globalization.

High-End Product Expansion and Renovation Project Launch Public Notice

Recently, an expansion and renovation project of Sentury focusing on high-end tires completed its first public notice on the Shandong Province approval platform. The plan is for an annual production of 6 million semi-steel radial tires and 80,000 aircraft tires (including 50,000 retread tires), with a total investment of about 1.313 billion yuan.

As of the end of 2024, the aircraft tire sub-project has been completed first. The company has the production capacity to equip mainstream aircraft models such as Boeing and Airbus, and has signed R&D agreements with relevant aircraft manufacturing companies, entering their supplier lists.

However, as the "pearl on the crown" of the tire industry, aircraft tires have high technical barriers and long certification cycles. The company admitted that the annual production capacity of 80,000 aircraft tire projects has not yet achieved the expected benefits, and customer and market expansion still need to be steadily promoted. In addition, the "R&D Center Upgrade" project related to the main business has been delayed twice, with the latest plan postponed to the end of 2025. As of the end of June 2025, the project has cumulatively invested 216 million yuan, with an investment progress of 86.4% and a construction progress of 76%.

Listed is Affirmation, Also a New Starting Point

This entry into the 2026 Shandong Private Enterprise Top 200 public notice list is an affirmation of the company's operating results. Sentury stated that in the future it will continue to take root in Shandong, deeply cultivate the real economy, continuously strengthen technological innovation, focus on quality improvement and efficiency enhancement, accelerate the high-quality development of the enterprise, strive to build a world-class tire brand, and contribute to the development of the private economy in Shandong Province.
