Nexen Tire

Nexen Tire makes rubber tires, the components that connect a vehicle to the road, for both passenger cars and other vehicles.

Listed on KOSPI, Korea's main stock exchange, it supplies tires through two channels: directly to automakers as original equipment and to consumers and workshops as replacement tires, distributing through a global sales network spanning China, the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Oceania. Its raw materials, natural rubber, synthetic rubber, and petrochemical-derived inputs such as carbon black, are largely sourced from overseas, making input costs sensitive to exchange-rate movements and international commodity prices.
