Prinx Chengshan Strengthens Global Supply with New Manufacturing Base in Malaysia

Prinx’s new production facility in Malaysia
Prinx Chengshan began construction of its third global manufacturing facility in Malaysia on 18 November 2025. The groundbreaking ceremony, held at Kedah Rubber City in Kedah State, marked a major milestone in the company’s long-term global strategy.
Through its subsidiary Prinx Tire (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (PTM), Prinx Chengshan Holdings Limited will invest RM2.6 billion over a 15-year period to develop the tyre manufacturing plant, becoming Kedah Rubber City’s first anchor investor.
The Malaysia project will cover 102.63 acres and will be developed in multiple phases, with Phase I designed to establish an annual production capacity of 6 million premium passenger and light truck (PLT) tyres and 600,000 commercial truck and bus (TBR) tyres, significantly enhancing Prinx’s ability to serve international markets with high-quality tyre products.
Looking ahead, Phase II of the project will allow for a substantial expansion of production capacity, with total output expected to reach up to 15 million PLT tyres and 1.5 million TBR tyres annually.
At the time of the groundbreaking, Dr Haim Hilman Abdullah, Chairman of the State Industry and Investment Committee, said that the new facility was expected to begin exporting its first batch of products within one year and would create approximately 1,056 high-value jobs across engineering, research and development, and administrative functions, contributing to local economic growth and technological advancement.
Prinx manages a diverse portfolio of well-established tyre brands, covering passenger, commercial, and speciality segments for different global markets. Its brand lineup includes PRINX, AUSTONE, FORTUNE, CHENGSHAN, and ARROW, each positioned to serve specific market needs.
As the Malaysia plant comes online and export capacity expands, CITEXPO visitors will have a valuable opportunity to engage directly with Prinx Chengshan’s global strategy, production capabilities, and future supply plans.
