Pakistan’s leading tyre manufacturer, Service Long March Tyres (Private) Limited, has unveiled plans to invest an additional $120 million to expand its production capacity, aiming to significantly increase exports in the coming years.
The company expects its export volume to grow from $70 million by June 2026 to over $100 million in the next fiscal year, positioning itself among Pakistan’s top non-textile exporters in a relatively short time.
The announcement was made during a high-level meeting with Jam Kamal Khan, attended by company chairman Jin Yongsheng and Jawad Paul. The delegation highlighted Pakistan’s rapidly expanding presence in global tyre markets.
According to company officials, Pakistan has emerged as the fifth-largest tyre exporter to the United States and the seventh-largest to Brazil, marking a remarkable turnaround from minimal market share just a few years ago. This growth has been largely driven by technology transfer and partnerships with Chinese firms, enabling local manufacturers to meet international quality standards.
The company’s Nooriabad manufacturing facility was also highlighted as a key asset. The modern plant employs around 2,000 workers and integrates renewable energy solutions, making it one of the more environmentally sustainable industrial units in the region.
Speaking at the meeting, the commerce minister reaffirmed the government’s commitment to supporting export-oriented industries. He emphasized the importance of a balanced tariff policy that protects local manufacturers while ensuring Pakistani products remain competitive in global markets.
