Zhaoyuan | Hanover, September 23, 2026 – Linglong Tire is further advancing its internationalization strategy with the establishment of Linglong Tire Egypt Co., Ltd., which is responsible for the Shandong Linglong Tyre Co., Ltd. Overseas (Egypt) Investment and Construction Project. The company name is currently subject to review by the relevant local authorities, who are processing the pending business registration certificate. The goal is to strengthen international competitiveness and expand the company's presence in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa to better meet regional customer needs in the future and maximize corporate returns.
The estimated total investment is 270 million US dollars. The project will be located in Borg El Arab, 45 kilometers south of Alexandria, covering a total area of approximately 251,460 m². The planned construction period is two years and includes the factory construction as well as civil engineering, infrastructure work, landscaping, and related support services. Upon completion, a total of approximately six million passenger car tires are to be produced annually, with expected revenue of approximately 175 million US dollars and a projected net profit of approximately 35 million US dollars.
The investment is designed to serve local demand in Egypt as well as core markets in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, ensuring all customer needs are met. The automotive industry in Egypt and neighboring countries has been steadily growing for years, making this location decision particularly attractive. Egypt is situated at the crossroads of Asia, Africa, and Europe, with close proximity to the Suez Canal, one of the world's most important trade routes. This geographical location, combined with local ports and the existing logistics network, allows for the restructuring of raw material and goods flows, effectively reducing logistics costs and optimizing supply chains. Within the global Linglong Tire manufacturing network, the new project fits perfectly with existing production facilities in China, Thailand, and Europe. Once completed, the Egyptian factory will create synergies, making Linglong Tire more independent and flexible worldwide. The project strengthens Linglong's brand presence in the region, increases competitiveness, and contributes to the advancement of its globalization strategy, which includes smart factories, leading R&D departments, eco-friendly and sustainable production, and advanced services.
The aforementioned investment is currently still subject to approvals and reviews by the relevant authorities in the People's Republic of China as well as the competent Egyptian authorities. As these procedures have not yet been completed, the project may be modified, delayed, or even terminated if the required permits or documents are not obtained in a timely manner.
