In his welcome speech, Koo thanked his business partners, Zhao Hong Li and George Zhang, guests and customers for attending the dinner.
“CB Longmarch Tyres has been operating for 3 years. In these 3 years, we have been cooperating very well with Chaoyang Long March Tyre; they had been very supportive especially in improv- ing their product quality and making sure that we are able to com- ply with the SIRIM standard.

Following the speech was a brief presentation by George Zhang on Chaoyang Long March Tyre’s background, development and technology.
Established in January 2003, Zhang said Chaoyang Long March had an initial annual production capacity of 350,000 tyres (includ- ing tubes) and this grew to 2,100,000 units in 2014.

“Chaoyang Long March has invested significantly in tyre manu- facturing and testing equipment, such as the X-Ray Machine to inspect the internal structure of every tyre that is produced to en- sure quality and the Dynamic Balance Machine to test the dynam- ic balance of our tyres. Thus, all Longmarch tyres have passed visual inspection and X-Ray examination before they are shipped. We have obtained ISO /TS 16949:2002 and ISO 9001:2000 certi- fications, China Compulsory Certificate, US DOT Certification and EU REACH Regulation.”
