Doublestar, founded in 1921 as a shoe company in Qingdao, China, represents over a century of rubber industry excellence, evolving from footwear manufacturing to become one of China's leading tire manufacturers and a major global player through strategic acquisitions and innovative manufacturing. The company's remarkable transformation accelerated in 2008 when it divested its shoe and clothing businesses to focus exclusively on tire production, establishing itself as the only state-owned listed tire company in Shandong Province. Doublestar's strategic expansion through the acquisition of Huaqing Tire in 2001 and Dongfeng Tire in 2005 laid the foundation for its current position as a leading manufacturer of tires for trucks, buses, passenger cars, SUVs, light trucks, commercial vehicles, and specialty equipment. The company achieved international prominence in 2018 through its RMB 3.9 billion acquisition of a 45% controlling stake in Kumho Tire, positioning Doublestar among the world's top 10 tire companies and expanding its global manufacturing capabilities. Doublestar's commitment to advanced manufacturing is demonstrated through its operation of the world's first Industry 4.0 smart tire factories for both commercial and passenger tire production, utilizing cutting-edge automation and quality control systems. The company's comprehensive product portfolio serves diverse vehicle applications including passenger cars, commercial vehicles, motorcycles, agricultural equipment, and specialty applications, leveraging nearly 100 years of rubber manufacturing expertise. Listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, Doublestar's financial strength and strategic partnerships enable continuous investment in research and development, ensuring innovative tire solutions that meet evolving market demands and international quality standards. The company's "Fulfilling Second Undertaking & Creating Doublestar A World Famous Brand" initiative launched in 2014 reflects its ambitious vision to establish global leadership in tire manufacturing and technology innovation. Doublestar's unique position as the only company worldwide operating both Industry 4.0 commercial and passenger tire factories demonstrates its commitment to technological advancement and manufacturing excellence.
