Nexen Tire – Innovation and Excellence in Tyre Manufacturing
Nexen Tire, one of South Korea's pioneering tyre manufacturers, has been dynamically expanding its range in the market since the late 20th century. The company’s origins trace back to the 1940s when it operated under the name Heung-Ah Tire, producing tyres for military use. A decade later, Nexen began manufacturing tyres for motorcycles and eventually for passenger cars, rebranding to Woosung Tire in the process. Notably, the company was the first in Korea to introduce tyres with a "V"-shaped tread pattern. Post-2000, following its rebranding to Nexen Tire, the firm experienced significant growth in sales, securing its position as a global leader in the tyre industry. Today, Nexen tyres are sold in over 130 countries worldwide.
Nexen Tire is committed to quality and high performance in tyre production, earning recognition among vehicle owners and motorsport professionals alike. The brand is particularly renowned for its premium UHP and professional tyres, with Nexen tyres chosen as original equipment for the Porsche Cayenne. This dedication to excellence continues to enhance the company’s reputation on a global scale.
