Giti Tire Group 2012 Sales Up, Income Stable - Tire Review Magazine

Giti Tire Group 2012 Sales Up, Income Stable

Last year the Giti Tire Group increased its revenue by 2.1% while its net income remained virtually at 2011 levels.

The company told Tyres & Accessories that revenue increased year-on-year to 3.02 billion euros; in 2011 the total revenue for Giti Tire and PT Gajah Tunggal, with their factories in China and Indonesia, was 2.96 billion euros.

Operating profit jumped 42.9% to 258.53 million euros, a figure that represents an 8.6% yield on turnover. Net income decreased 0.3% year-year to 113.17 million euros.

According to Tyres & Accessories’ figures, the Giti Tire Group is thus the 10th largest tiremaker in the world. Admittedly, neither Chang Shin Rubber (Maxxis) nor Hangzhou Zhongce (Westlake) have published their 2012 results yet and depending on the two companies’ performance, the Giti Tire Group may descend to 12th place. The two tiremakers’ respective 2011 turnover figures place them at around 100 and 300 million euros beneath the Giti Tire Group’s 2012 result. (Tyres & Accessories)
