CST – A STORY OF PROGRESS
From the very start more than 50 years ago, CST has set
the standard for excellence in the tyre industry.
Building on foundations of quality, service and integrity
it isn’t a coincidence that CST has become the world’s
largest manufacturer of bicycle tyres and one of the most
prodigious producers of tyres for car, 4x4, motorcycle,
ATV, truck, agricultural and lawn and garden equipment.
Distributed in more than 150 countries, and with
over 20,000 employees around the globe, CST uses
machinery from Germany, Holland, Japan and Taiwan to
adhere to the most stringent international standards and
deliver products that exceed expections in all sectors.
With facilities including six factories in Xiamen, one of
the largest and most advanced testing complexes in the
world, and a new 1.24million m2 PCR tire manufacturing
plant, CST continues to innovate to keep the world on the
move with more safety, more efficiency and more fun.

CST – A LIFELONG COMMITMENT
Tyres play a vital yet often unnoticed and inconspicuous
role in all our lives. Whether for pleasure or business,
safety and reliability are of paramount importance
and at the core of everything CST. That’s why CST
customers stay with us – from the first bicycle and on
through years of cycling, motorcycling or driving.
Producing tyres for all modes of transport, for
people all over the world is a responsibility we are
passionately serious about.
Our ethos means we will always endeavour to
reduce and offset environmental impact; use
sustainable rubber sources; to help with
humanitarian and social issues; to support
charities, promote scholarships and education;
and to develop grassroots sports for the
enjoyment and benefit of all.

CST – PROVING GROUND
As CST has grown, and research and development
increased, the company decided to invest in a world
class proving ground. Located near Shanghai, in the
city of Kunshan, the Proving Ground opened in late
2012 at a cost of 150 million USD.
Built by specialist engineering companies from
arpound the globe, the site is 860,000 square metres
and is one of the most advanced proving grounds
in China, with individual test areas for high-speed
handling, braking, wet/dry handling and N.V.H.
durability.
The high-speed test track features 45-degree banking
in the corners, allowing the vehicle to maintain speeds
of up to 210km/h. The test course also features stateof-
the-art intelligent watering system that allows for
precise control of water-film thickness for consistent
wet-surface testing.
There are 13 different real-world road surfaces,
allowing engineers to precisely engineer each tyre for
it’s intended conditions. The track also features the
only ISO 10844-2011 certified test course in China
capable of conducting ISO testing for both China and
Europe.
