Greenfield tire project
Building a Modern Tire Factory with a Single Engineering Partner
Black Donuts supports greenfield tire factory projects from the earliest technical and financial feasibility studies through design, engineering, implementation, commissioning, first tire production, and production ramp-up.
Rather than coordinating multiple engineering companies, equipment suppliers, and specialist consultants, customers work with a single engineering partner responsible for the entire project life cycle. Our team remains fully engaged from initial concept until the factory reaches stable industrial production.
At the early project stage, we help manufacturers and investors evaluate the technical concept and investment requirements before major commitments are made. Throughout execution, our engineering decisions are strictly guided by quality, production efficiency, sustainability, and compliance. All projects are delivered under Black Donuts’ ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified management systems, providing a structured framework for consistent execution and environmental responsibility.
Engineering Experience
→ 50+ tire factories designed worldwide
→ Experience working with 20 of the world’s top 25 tire manufacturers
→ End-to-end expertise in factory engineering, tire development, automation, materials and testing
From concept to stable industrial production
with one engineering partner.
Why Manufacturers are Investing in New Tire Factories
Several global trends are changing how tire manufacturers plan new production facilities. These factors influence factory location, capacity, technology, materials, and long-term operating requirements.
| Industry Driver | Impact on Manufacturing | Greenfield Example |
|---|---|---|
| EV growth | Specialized tire engineering | Higher vehicle load capacity |
| Sustainability | Stricter emissions and material rules | More sustainable compounds and processes |
| Supply localization | Shift toward regional production | Near-market factories |
| Automation | Smart, highly efficient facilities | Robotics & MES integration |
| Material innovation | Advanced compound development | Bio-based filler integration |
| Cost & risk pressure | Focus on capital and operating costs | Optimized location, layout, and capacity |
Technical and Financial Feasibility
Before detailed factory development begins, the project must be evaluated from both a technical and financial perspective. Black Donuts supports early-stage decision-making by assessing the target market, product portfolio, production capacity, tire sizes, pricing models, investment requirements, and operating costs.
Depending on your project scope, the assessment includes:
- Market and product-segment analysis
- Production capacity and product-mix scenarios
- Target tire size ranges and performance requirements
- Capital and operating cost estimates (CAPEX and OPEX)
- Profitability and cash flow projections
- Payback period, net present value (NPV), and internal rate of return (IRR) analyses
- Sensitivity and alternative investment scenarios

Engineering Priorities
Modern tire factories must balance production efficiency, product quality, operational safety, sustainability and long-term flexibility. Black Donuts brings together factory engineering, layout development, production technology, automation, utilities, tire R&D and testing to create an integrated manufacturing system. Each solution is developed according to the project’s production targets, investment strategy, market requirements and technical objectives.
Factory location, capacity, machinery, layout, utilities and production processes are evaluated as one system.
