China publishes list of top 100 rubber companies
ERJ staff report (DS)
Beijing - Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber Co., Ltd. Is China's biggest rubber company, with sales of yuan 28,411 million (euro 3410 million) in 2011. This is according to data from the China Rubber Industries Association published last week.
Editor's note, the data provided by CRIA gives (in translation) a figure 100 times lower than reported above. In August last year Hangzhou Zhongce reported half-year sales of yuan 13,600 million and forecast full-year sales of yuan 28,000 million. ERJ believes the auto-translation tools insert a factor of 0.01 to these numbers. Thus when interpreting the translated data from CRIA, ERJ has multiplied by 100 and advises readers to do the same.
The list covers the top 100 companies based on 2011 sales revenues. The top ten -- all tyre manufacturers -- are listed below:
- Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber Co., Ltd.(yuan 28,411 million)
- Cheng Shin Rubber Industry Co., Ltd. in Xiamen (yuan 22,146 million)
