About Qingdao Doublestar
Qingdao Doublestar Co., Ltd. is a Chinese rubber and tyre company headquartered in Qingdao, Shandong Province. With origins in 1921, it is one of the country's oldest industrial brands; the current listed company, state-controlled and traded on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, shifted its core business from footwear to tyres from 2008 and began a modernisation stage in 2014 built around smart factories.
Its central activity is the design, manufacture and sale of radial tyres for trucks and buses, passenger cars and special applications, under the Doublestar brand and through its subsidiary Qingdao Doublestar Tire Industrial. In 2018 the group became the controlling shareholder of Korean maker Kumho Tire, giving it a second global brand and production and sales presence in Asia, Europe and the Americas, and it has also developed a production base in Cambodia.
Doublestar combines that dual-brand structure with investment in intelligent manufacturing and digital-twin tyre design. For distributors and importers it offers a full range of truck and passenger tyres backed by a century-old group, an international network and supply capacity from both China and its overseas plants.
