Vietnamese DRC increased production

On December 19, Da Nang Rubber Company (DRC) held an official ceremony to launch new production facilities for truck tires at its plant in Da Nang (Vietnam). The total investment was 916 billion dong (35 million dollars), of which 570 billion dong (22 million dollars) was invested in the purchase of new equipment, and the enterprise is now capable of producing up to 1 million truck tires per year.

As part of the project, a new rubber mixing workshop was built, and existing production lines were also modernized, which made it possible to increase their efficiency. Tires are supplied to both the Vietnamese market and other countries, and the new investments have created almost 300 jobs.

DRC was established in 1975 on the basis of a tire retreading plant owned by the US Army. The company is part of the Vietnam National Chemical Group (Vinachem) and sells its products in more than 50 countries, including the USA, Japan, Brazil, and others.

In November 2025, it was announced that after receiving an application from tire manufacturers from the CIS, the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) would conduct an anti-dumping investigation into the import of truck tires from China, Thailand, and Vietnam, and one of the reasons was that, as noted by the petitioners, companies in the three countries intend to increase production capacity.
