Recently, Sichuan Yuanxing Rubber Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yuanxing Rubber") officially released a tender notice to launch the bidding work for its Indonesia KITB tire production base construction project.

As the first overseas factory of this Sichuan tire giant, the implementation of this project marks Yuanxing Rubber's official transition from "product export" to "capacity overseas expansion", adding new momentum to the global layout of China's two-wheeler tire industry chain.


Targeting the "Kingdom of Two-Wheelers", the first overseas base is substantially launched
According to the tender notice, the Yuanxing Rubber Indonesia base is located in the Batang Industrial Park in Central Java Province, Indonesia, with a total land area of approximately 405,000 square meters (about 608 mu). The project is built in two phases, with the first phase covering a construction area of approximately 230,000 square meters, including a full set of industrial buildings such as a mixing workshop, radial tire workshop, and finished goods vertical warehouse.

The tight arrangement of "construction period of 300 calendar days" in the tender documents, as well as the special clause of "giving priority to enterprises with construction experience in Indonesia", shows the enterprise's urgency and pragmatism in seizing the window period of the overseas market.
What does Yuanxing Rubber intend to do by this move? Data provides the answer. Indonesia is the third largest and ASEAN's largest two-wheeler market, with motorcycle ownership exceeding 137 million units, and sales reaching 6.3 million units in 2024. The huge demand for stock replacement and new matching constitutes a huge "tire blue ocean".

Building a factory here not only allows Yuanxing Rubber to get close to the localized procurement needs of international giants such as Honda and Yamaha, significantly reducing logistics costs, but also deeply integrate into the ASEAN manufacturing network and radiate the entire Southeast Asian market.
Surge in Orders Forces Capacity Expansion, Building a Dual-Circulation Pattern
Behind the overseas layout is the "sweet trouble" faced by Yuanxing Rubber.
Since 2026, Yuanxing Rubber has seen booming production and sales. Data shows that in the first five months of 2026, its sales volume surged by 32% year-on-year, a growth rate 12 percentage points higher than the industry average. Even with daily capacity increased to 305,000 tires, facing the continued growth of domestic and overseas orders, the supply-demand gap is still expanding.



To solve the urgent problem, Yuanxing Rubber launched an aggressive capacity expansion plan: adding 35,000 tires of daily capacity in two batches in October and December 2026, with the total daily capacity expected to reach 335,000 tires by January 2027.

However, domestic expansion alone is no longer enough to support its global ambitions. Yuanxing Rubber is building a dual-circulation capacity pattern of "domestic base for delivery guarantee, overseas base for volume expansion". Besides the Indonesia base, the enterprise has also planned the fourth domestic production base and an Africa factory, intending to build a production network covering the globe.
The Confidence of a "Hidden Champion": From Manufacturing to Intelligent Manufacturing
As an industry "Hidden Champion" that emerged from Dayi County, Chengdu, Yuanxing Rubber was founded in 1996. After nearly 30 years of in-depth work, it has developed into a large tire manufacturing enterprise integrating R&D, production, and sales.

Currently, Yuanxing Rubber's annual capacity is about to increase to approximately 148 million tires, owning six major brands: "Chengyuan", "Jistone", "Yuanxing", "Jinyu", "Youshen", "Helu".

Relying on solid quality, its products are sold to over 40 countries and regions, and have repeatedly won the "Quality Excellence Award" from top motorcycle enterprises such as Wuyang-Honda and Jianshe·Yamaha.

It is worth noting that Yuanxing Rubber has not diluted quality standards due to scale expansion. All new production lines continue to follow a unified quality control system, and rely on the digital advantages of being selected as a "Sichuan Province Advanced Intelligent Factory" to guarantee the product bottom line.
From product overseas expansion to capacity overseas expansion, Yuanxing Rubber is rushing towards the goal of a "world-class two-wheeler tire manufacturing enterprise" in a pragmatic posture. The launch of the Indonesia factory tender is exactly a key move in this global chess game.
