 Jining, China – September 8, 2026 – As China and the broader Asian Tire and MRG industries continue to scale to serve expanding mobility and infrastructure needs around the globe, manufacturers increasingly require material partners that can combine dependable supply, high quality and consistent performance, and faster technical response.

Birla Carbon, one of the world’s largest global manufacturers and suppliers of high-quality carbon materials, will participate in RubberTech China 2026, held September 15–17, 2026, at the Shanghai New International Expo Center, to highlight how it is strengthening each of these capabilities across Asia, including China, to serve both regional and global markets.

Birla Carbon’s expanding manufacturing capacity and footprint are strengthening its ability to serve customers across China and Asia with greater supply reliability, responsiveness, and consistency. Birla Carbon’s Rayong plant in Thailand and an additional high-output plant in India are coming online this year. These capacity additions are enhancing reliable volume availability across key Asian markets, improving the company’s ability to respond faster to evolving customer requirements, and supporting quicker deliveries through greater proximity to customers.

 “The Asia region is increasingly viewed as a manufacturing hub for the world, with China playing a central role in the growth of high-value MRG and tire markets.  This is making performance, supply reliability, and sustainability more critical than ever for the region,” said Amit Kumar, President, Asia, Birla Carbon. “At Birla Carbon, we are strengthening our regional material capacity and footprint to be closer to our customers and respond more effectively to their evolving needs. With expanded capacity and innovative solutions spanning MRG, tires, including Euro 7-inspired and EV-designed performance materials low PAH applications, and sustainable offerings, we are well positioned to help customers enhance product performance, build more resilient supply chains, and advance their sustainability goals.”

At RubberTech China 2026, Birla Carbon will present a broad portfolio of solutions across:

  • MRG: Engineered for enhanced durability in hose applications, higher abrasion resistance in belting systems, and demanding performance in anti-vibration systems and sealing systems.
  • Tires: Carbon black grades designed to extend tire lifespan and improve fuel and energy efficiency, including Euro 7 inspired and EV-designed performance materials supporting tire manufacturers in addressing evolving mobility and sustainability requirements across PCR, LT, and TBR applications.
  • Low PAH: Certified low PAH grades for skin-contact and export markets, offered as drop-in ASTM replacements.
