Beijing – Huangpu Tire Technology (Inner Mongolia) has moved forward with plans for a new production facility in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, issuing a second call for public participation in its environmental impact assessment.

The facility will be built in the Shaerqin industrial zone within the larger Hohhot Economic and Technological Development Zone, according to an environmental assessment report published 22 Nov.

The Yuan1.2-billion (€150-million) project will include annual production capacity for 30,000 aviation tires and 80,000 speciality engineering tires, the report added.

With a construction timeline of 12 months, the plant will feature aviation tire workshops, rubber mixing workshops, raw material warehouses, hazardous waste warehouses, and related auxiliary works.

The factory will be built on the site of an existing plant and will use office spaces and the refurbished tire workshop of the old unit, according to the report.

The project is a joint collaboration between Guangdong-based Huangpu Materials Research Institute and the Hohhot Economic and Technological Development Zone.

Established earlier in June, Huangpu Tire Technology (Inner Mongolia) is 70% owned by Guangzhou-based Huangpu Materials Research Institute and 30% held by Inner Mongolia Jiantong Technology Development Co., a state-owned enterprise under the Hohhot Economic and Technological Development Zone.
