A new tyre production facility in Oran City, Algeria has officially begun construction, following a joint investment by Hadj Larbi Algeria Tire Factory Cooperation and China's Doublestar Group. The US$250 million project marks a significant step in Algeria’s ambitions to scale up industrial capacity and export-oriented manufacturing.
The factory is designed to produce up to six million passenger car radial (PCR) tyres and one million truck and bus radial (TBR) tyres per year. These will be supplied to local markets, Central Africa, and Europe, reflecting a regional export strategy.
Production will be based on Doublestar’s proprietary tyre manufacturing processes and intelligent factory technologies. The company has previously developed smart manufacturing systems incorporating digital control, automation, and energy efficiency.
Speaking at the foundation stone ceremony, Dilmi Ouardi, CEO of El Hadj Larbi Pneumatiques, highlighted the long-standing partnership between the two companies, stating that the venture will boost Algeria’s industrial development and support access to high-quality tyre products locally.
Doublestar Group chairman Chai Yongsen also underlined the project’s broader significance, saying it would strengthen bilateral ties between China and Algeria and contribute to local economic growth.
