As a global manufacturer with eight factories situated in three countries, having a strong environmental production focus is extremely important to promoting ethical growth and contribution to society.
This is especially true in a changing world, where international supply chains and distribution networks are so inter-connected. In addition to improving automation, reducing waste, and improving use of resources, there must be a focus on constant environmental improvement in each of the production centers.
Whether in its new US factory or its existing Asian production facilities, Giti Tire places continued efforts to maximize positive environmental contribution. All Giti factories comply with strict local environmental and manufacturing laws and regulations, from design, construction, to production. In addition, they have obtained national certifications of quality management, environmental management, and occupation health and safety management systems.
GES Manufacturing Management System
In addition to having full ISO 14001 environmental certifications, all Giti Tire factories use a unified GES manufacturing management system, combining quality management, environmental protection and safe production, to form a high-performance and standardized system of production and operation, quality management and quality-control management.
Automated Intelligent Lean Manufacturing
Giti has built a world-class standardized tire manufacturing process, integrating high-standard manpower, raw materials, equipment and craftsmanship, to create better and safer tires, with continuous innovation and all our heart.
More than 70% of the production equipment, logistics, and storage in the newly-built Giti U.S. factory are fully automated, significantly improving the production efficiency of the assembly line, reducing and controlling the pollutant emissions.
Sustainable Green Cleaner Production(CP)
While achieving rapid growth of business value, Giti has also been insisting on sustainable development, reducing the adverse effects on the environment of the tire life cycle, implementing the concept of environmental protection into every step of production and manufacturing.
Giti owns a completely integrated green supply chain system, adheres to the policy of environmental protection for all employees to maintain cleaner production, and relies on the three principles of reduction, reuse and recycling, to decrease environmental pollution, reduce waste emissions, and improve resource utilization to the maximum level.
Altogether, Giti’s efforts have realized success in environmental factors, including a 47% decrease in fresh water usage and 22% reduction in coal usage between 2011 and 2017, as well as increased efficiency through automation and conservation. In addition, Giti Tire has planted numerous trees and utilized other conservation efforts in its local communities, to help make a greener and better future.

From December 2018 to January 2019, Giti retail dealers throughout Malaysia took part in an innovative service competition, combining technical, services, and communications skills to develop and reward top service providers in the Giti dealer network. This is the first time such a competition was held, receiving positive feedback from dealers, as well as to improve Giti dealers’ service quality, by sharing the professional service module & technical knowledge.
The competition consisted of three rounds - qualifying, semifinals, and a final - with two categories of customer service and technical skills. In total, 132 participants joined the competition. This opportunity allowed Giti dealers to certify their technician and salesperson skills through a wide-ranging service competition. The judges were representatives from Giti, who traveled to dealers’ stores to do scoring and feedback based on their services. Malaysia Country Manager, Matthew Wai noted: “Besides putting the quality and correct tires in the market, it’s our responsible to ensure the appointed dealers able provide useful information and professional service to enrich the end customer loyalty. From this competition, we are glad to see the positive engagement of Giti dealers and the passion are encouraging.”
On January 10th, Giti Tire Malaysia conducted a half-day training session for all finalists at Giti’s flagship store, YPL Auto Services. The finalists were trained about Giti, and after the session competed in a role play activity. Besides developing skills to improve training, the winner was rewarded Giti Malaysia Service Rep of the Year and also won exciting cash prizes. The prize giveaway ceremony will be held in Kuala Lumpur on January 27th, in conjunction with distributor’s annual dinner night.

The service competition series was successful in achieving its goals, said Elson Tsai, Head of International Marketing. “Tires are one of the most important parts for transportation, as they carry all the weight of a vehicle, but many ‘hidden values’ related to safety are not obvious to the public. In Malaysia, we are working closely with our retail partners to provide correct tire solutions and quality services, including tire fitting, balancing, and wheel alignment. Within the Giti network, we believe that Giti Tire will provide the Malaysia drivers the ‘best experience in the town’.”
