Established in 1946, the Shinko Group began as a manufacturer of bicycle tires and tubes in Osaka, Japan that today has become a burgeoning manufacture of rubber products.

In 1998 the Shinko Group purchased their motorcycle tyre technology and moulds from Yokohama Rubber Co., and began production of these products under the Shinko Tyre brand. With manufacturing based in South Korea and design based in Japan, the company has seamlessly combined Japanese engineering and design principles with South Korean production and quality control standards. Today Shinko Tyres produces approximately 200,000 motorcycle tyres per month.
