Green light for aviation, speciality tire project in Inner Mongolia

Shanghai, China – Huangpu Tire Technology (Inner Mongolia) has moved forward with plans for a new production facility in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region.

The company has reported receiving official approval following an environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the Yuan1.2 billion (€150 million) project.

According to a notice issued 6 May by the ‘Hohhot ecology and environment bureau’, the approval covers the “aviation tire and specialty tire manufacturing base project.”

Sited in the Shaerqin industrial zone of Hohhot economic area, the plant is designed to produce 80,000 specialty engineering tires annually, alongside 15,000 new aviation tires and 15,000 retreaded aviation tires.

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. 

As previously reported by ERJ, the project is a joint collaboration between Guangdong-based Huangpu Materials Research Institute and the Hohhot Economic and Technological Development Zone. (ERJ report)

Established earlier in June 2025, 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.

According to project details, the facility is intended to address supply gaps in high-end tire manufacturing in Inner Mongolia and northern China, particularly in the aviation tire segment.

Annual output value from the project is projected at around Yuan360 million once operations reach full capacity.
