Michelin Shenyang Tire Co., Ltd., the core production base of tire giant Michelin in China, recently obtained a new pollution discharge permit issued by the Shenyang Ecological Environment Bureau. The license is valid for five years, from August 18, 2025 to August 17, 2030, marking a solid step for Michelin Shenyang plant on the road to environmental compliance and sustainable development.
This is not only an official recognition of Michelin Shenyang plant's existing environmental protection facilities and management system, but also provides key environmental compliance guarantees for its production and operation activities in the next five years. In the current increasingly stringent environmental regulatory environment, a valid pollutant discharge permit is a prerequisite for enterprises to achieve stable and continuous production.
Recently, Michelin announced the completion of its silent tire post-processing project, marking a substantial breakthrough in its capacity expansion plan. This series of actions is not only a comprehensive upgrade of its own production line, but also a strategic move to accurately grasp the consumption upgrade and new energy vehicle development trends in the Chinese market.
Michelin's tire production capacity in Shenyang is expanding rapidly. It is reported that the technical transformation project with a total investment of 110 million yuan has increased the annual production capacity of the plant's silent tires from 1.3 million to 5 million, an increase of 285%. This remarkable growth reflects Michelin's firm confidence in the huge potential of the Chinese market.
While pursuing production capacity, Michelin has not neglected green development. The project has invested 5.015 million yuan specifically for the construction of environmental protection facilities, which is in line with the company's long-term goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2028, and demonstrates the wisdom of industry-leading companies in balancing economic benefits and social responsibility.
Since its establishment in 1995, the Michelin Shenyang plant has developed into Michelin's largest production base in Asia and one of the world's most automated "lighthouse factories". The explosive growth in silent tire production capacity forms a strategic synergy with its ongoing "smart lighthouse factory" construction and industrial management trainee program, and together constitutes Michelin's measures to respond to the Chinese market's demand for high-performance tires.
Michelin's series of layouts is not only a key step in consolidating its leading position in the high-end tire market, but also a strategic move to enhance its overall competitiveness by strengthening its core product lines in the fierce market competition. It indicates that the competition in the Chinese tire market is shifting from a simple competition of scale to a value competition centered on technology, brand and green manufacturing. Michelin's continued investment will undoubtedly inject strong momentum into this trend and have a profound impact on the future development pattern of the entire industry.
