Sailun was incorporated on November 18, 2002, in Qingdao, emerging from the rubber research ecosystem of Qingdao University of Science and Technology. Founder and chairman Yuan Zhongxue, a professor and entrepreneur associated with the university, built the company around applied rubber technology developed in academic laboratories.

The company listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2011 under the name Sailun Jinyu, later rebranding to Sailun Group. Domestic capacity expanded through plants in Qingdao, Dongying, Shenyang, and Weifang.

Internationalization defined the 2010s and 2020s. Sailun opened factories in Vietnam and Cambodia, becoming one of the first Chinese tire makers to manufacture at scale overseas, and added facilities in Indonesia and Mexico to place production closer to North American and Southeast Asian demand. It also launched a joint venture with Canada's CTG and supplies private-label tires to major retailers, including models sold as Canadian Tire's MotoMaster line.

Technology investment accelerated with the EcoPoint3 tire platform, which uses a liquid-phase mixing process the company markets as liquid gold, delivering top A/A ratings under EU tire labeling rules. Sailun became the first Chinese tire brand to supply tires for FIA-sanctioned racing, and launched the Eco-Rubber Cloud, a rubber industry internet platform.

Sailun operates under the same antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings that govern Chinese tire exports. US tariffs on tires imported from Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand have affected the whole Chinese-owned offshore manufacturing cohort, and Sailun disclosed trade friction as a margin headwind in 2025.
