HKAEY | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Dunlop Aircraft Tyres today opened its new retread and distribution facility in China, boosting the company's competitiveness in the global aviation marketplace and bringing increased tyre choice to aircraft operators in Asia Pacific.

The facility, operating as Dunlop Taikoo (Jinjiang) Aircraft Tyres Company Limited, is a joint venture with Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company Limited (HAECO) (28%) and Taikoo (Xiamen) Aircraft Engineering Company Limited (TAECO) (9%).

Based in Jinjiang, FujianProvince, the operation has full site and product approval from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC). The site has also received full repair-station approval from EASA.

"Airlines will be able to return tyres for retreading at an operation that is efficient and that is ideally located for quick and easy shipping to and from the region.

"By partnering with the region's highly regarded engineering companies, HAECO and TAECO, we will be able to quickly access this significant and growing market."

P.K. Chan, deputy chairman and chief executive officer of HAECO and chairman of TAECO, added: "I'm delighted that we have been able to enter into partnership with Dunlop Aircraft Tyres, build this facility and gain CAAC and EASA approvals in such a short period of time.
