DN TYRE & RUBBER PLC

DN Tyre & Rubber Plc, originally incorporated in 1961 as Dunlop Nigeria Plc, began its journey in manufacturing and marketing automotive tyres in Nigeria. The company commenced tyre production at its Oba Akran premises in 1963, establishing itself as a significant player in the nation's industrial landscape. Over the years, the company evolved beyond just tyre manufacturing, at one point also producing PVC asbestos-free floor tiles, carpets, and adhesives. The company later transitioned its name to DN Tyre & Rubber Plc in April 2009. Today, DN Tyre & Rubber Plc primarily focuses on the marketing of automotive tires across Nigeria, serving a broad spectrum of vehicle types. Its product offerings encompass a variety of tire sizes designed for cars, minivans, sports utility vehicles (SUVs), and trucks/buses, including specific product lines tailored for different performance needs. Beyond tire marketing, the company also engages in the manufacturing and export of natural rubber, which serves as a vital raw material for tire production. The company maintains a strategic investment in natural rubber plantations through its 60% shareholding in Pamol Nigeria Limited. While its primary market is Nigeria, the company has historically recognized the potential for tyre manufacturing and trade within the broader West and Central African sub-regions.
