One Ecosystem, One Partner: Black Donuts’ 2025 Journey Across the Global Tire Industry
As 2025 comes to a close, we reflect on a full and rewarding year of industry events, notable achievements, and innovations delivered together with our partners and clients.
From Tire Technology Expo in February to RubberTech China and the Global Polymer Summit in the United States, our team spent the year traveling across continents, listening, presenting, exchanging knowledge, and actively contributing to an industry that continues to evolve at an exciting pace.
Looking Back, 2025
Looking back, 2025 was defined by meaningful conversations, strong networking, and valuable knowledge sharing across the global tire, rubber, and polymer communities.
This year also marked significant progress within our own ecosystem. Alongside ongoing projects, we continued advancing our digital twin tire factory simulation, developed by tire engineers, for the tire industry, while opening the doors of our new material research centre, InTire Labs, in summer 2025. The launch of the laboratory expanded our collaboration network beyond tires, strengthening connections across the broader rubber and plastics industries. In parallel, we made tangible progress in material innovation. Our new sustainable raw material, designed to replace carbon black, synthetic rubber, and silica, reached its first application phase in tire tread development.
And we are only getting started.
In 2025, we unified everything we do into one fully integrated model for tire manufacturing:
- Greenfield and brownfield execution
- Material innovation
- Compound development
- Tire R&D, design and engineering
- InTire Labs research capabilities
- Digital simulation
- Performance validation and tire testing
One ecosystem.
Fully aligned.
All delivered by one partner.
For the first time in the industry, the entire tire value chain is designed, engineered, and delivered as one holistic turnkey model.
Materials. Tires. Factories. Data.
One seamless, four-dimensional system. In an unpredictable industry, we deliver something rare: certainty. That certainty comes from people, partnerships, and the courage to think long-term. We will present this in full at Tire Technology Expo 2026 in Hannover, Germany.
What we built in 2025 is only the foundation, our real work begins now. Thank you to our partners, clients, and team for the trust, curiosity, and collaboration that made 2025 a defining year for Black Donuts.
