Where is the Dunlop factory located?
2 Answers
Dunlop factories are located in China and Japan. Dunlop is a Japanese tire brand under the Sumitomo Group. The functions of tires are: 1. Transmit driving force, braking force, and steering force to achieve vehicle operation; 2. Support vehicle load; 3. Reduce and absorb vibration and impact during driving, avoiding severe vibration damage to vehicle components. Tire maintenance methods include: 1. Regularly clean stones in tire treads; 2. Minimize tire exposure to sunlight; 3. Promptly check tire pressure; 4. Pay attention to suspension maintenance; 5. Regularly inspect front wheel alignment; 6. Adopt careful driving habits by choosing road surfaces carefully, avoiding objects that may puncture or scratch tires, and steering clear of chemical spills that could corrode tires.
The Dunlop brand is quite interesting, and I recall it has a long history. In the late 19th century, the pneumatic tire was invented by Scotsman John Boyd Dunlop, with the headquarters originally based in the UK. Later, the company underwent multiple acquisitions and is now owned by Japan's Sumitomo Rubber Group, headquartered in Hiroshima City. As for manufacturing, Dunlop has factories worldwide, including several major plants in Japan itself, facilities in Buffalo, USA, and production lines in Europe, such as in France and Germany. There are also numerous cooperative factories in China, with the production base in Hunan being particularly active. From a safety perspective, regardless of the production location, Dunlop tires adhere to uniform quality standards, which gives us car owners more confidence when choosing, as tires are crucial for driving stability. The global layout is designed to adapt to different markets, reducing transportation hassles and environmental impact.
