What Tianjin Saixiang Technology does

Tianjin Saixiang Technology Co., Ltd. (Tianjin Saixiang, ticker 002337 on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange) is a Chinese industrial-equipment manufacturer founded in 1989 and headquartered in Tianjin Binhai High-tech Industrial Park. Its core business is the design, manufacture and sale of radial-tire production equipment — tire building machines (BOOSTER series, five generations, 21 years of development), extruders, cutters and steel-ring production lines — sold into tire manufacturers globally, with the company claiming to have broken the historical foreign monopoly on such equipment in China. The product portfolio extends into aerospace fixtures (the only Airbus transportation-fixture general contractor outside Europe, supplying A320/A350 programs with over 500 zero-defect transports recorded across 10+ years), AGV and intelligent-logistics systems via the 2014-acquired subsidiary Guangzhou Jingyuan Electromechanical (JYME / MAXAGV brands serving automotive, tire, chemical, food and pharmaceutical customers), and the Saiyang Cloud Industrial Internet platform with the TSTCWMS warehouse management system, which together provide remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, OEE management and equipment-lifecycle services layered on top of the installed equipment base.

The business model is predominantly direct enterprise sales of custom-configured equipment, augmented by an emerging subscription/recurring SaaS layer through the IIoT platform and an Airbus-direct aerospace fixture relationship. Customers include tier-one tire manufacturers (Sentury, Wanli, Triangle, Guizhou Tire, Langma, BKT, Michelin China) and automotive OEMs (FAW-VW, FAW Red Flag, Sany), with exports to 20+ countries. Pricing is custom per configuration; public price disclosure is limited, reflecting project-engineering sales.

Government recognition is extensive: National Manufacturing Single Champion (6th batch) for the all-steel radial tire forming machine; National Specialized, Refined and New 'Little Giant' Enterprise (2nd batch); National Science and Technology Progress First Class Award (for giant engineering radial tire complete production technology and equipment); National Enterprise Technology Center; and post-doctoral research workstation. FY2023 operating revenue was 677 million CNY, up 40.79% YoY. The company is led by third-generation Chairman and General Manager Zhang Xiaochen, who has publicly positioned the company as transitioning from pure equipment supplier to 'intelligent equipment plus service provider', with an embodied-intelligence robotics project approved by the Tianjin municipal government in December 2025 as a stated next step.
