History of Sentury Tires
- Founded: 2009
- Founders: Qin Long
Qin Long founded Qingdao Sentury Tire in 2009 in Qingdao, Shandong, entering an industry crowded with state backed and family owned competitors. The company's strategy was capacity plus branding: build modern plants, then push a family of owned brands into export markets rather than staying a contract producer.
The Qingdao plant came online first, followed by the Thailand facility that gave the group tariff advantaged supply for Western markets. The brand family expanded to include Landsail, Delinte, GroundSpeed, and Pantera, each covering segments from value passenger to UHP and commercial.
The September 2020 Shenzhen IPO was the inflection point, raising capital for expansion and converting Sentury from a private exporter into a public company with reporting obligations. Since listing, the company has invested in smart factory capacity, overseas distribution, and a European presence, while US operations continued building the flagship brand's dealer footprint alongside its siblings.
