On April 9, 2026, Linglong Tire disclosed the company’s production capacity in the first quarter when answering questions from investors on an interactive platform.
Since the beginning of the year, the international trade environment and geopolitical frictions have experienced frequent temporary changes, which have brought certain challenges to the production and sales of Linglong Tire.
Affected by events such as the transfer of origin and testing and verification requirements for domestic products sold in Europe due to the EU’s anti-dumping measures against China, the US CBP import suspension order and the war in the Middle East, some customer orders have experienced periodic delays.
This has affected Serbia Linglong’s production capacity ramp-up progress in the first quarter to a certain extent, and its production and sales rate is at the industry average level.
However, Linglong Tire is not sitting still, and the company is currently taking active measures to deal with these adverse factors.
On the one hand, the company has accelerated the adjustment of production areas, actively promoted the resolution process of the US import suspension order, and closely followed the progress of the EU’s anti-dumping policy and the settlement of international disputes.
On the other hand, externally, we continue to expand high-quality European customers and promote new project cooperation; internally, we optimize the warehouse logistics configuration and accelerate the release of engineering equipment production capacity to improve production efficiency, strive to resolve adverse effects, and create good conditions for the production and sales of Serbian factories.
Unlike Serbia’s Linglong, Thailand’s Linglong has performed well so far in 2026.
Thanks to factors such as the recovery of all-steel production capacity and the gradual completion of the transfer of semi-steel production areas, Thailand’s Linglong production capacity has been steadily released.
In the first quarter, its capacity utilization rate and production and sales rate remained at a relatively high level in the industry.
From an overall perspective, in the first quarter of 2026, Linglong Tire’s overall capacity utilization rate was at the normal level of the industry, and its all-steel capacity utilization rate increased significantly compared with the same period last year.
This shows that the company still has strong adaptability and development potential in the face of complex and changing external environments.
Looking into the future, Linglong Tire will continue to pay close attention to changes in the international trade environment and geopolitics, and continue to optimize its production and sales strategies.
By strengthening cooperation with domestic and foreign customers, we will improve product quality and service levels, and further improve production capacity utilization and market competitiveness.
At the same time, the company will actively respond to various challenges, seize development opportunities, and lay a solid foundation for sustainable development.
In short, although Linglong Tire faced some difficulties in the first quarter of 2026, it still achieved good results through active and effective countermeasures.
I believe that with the company’s efforts, it will achieve better development in the global market in the future.
