Chinese tire machinery and equipment supplier Mesnac has announced its return to the Indian market, taking part in the India Rubber Expo 2026 held in April.

The machinery maker said it exhibited at the event after "an eight-year hiatus", with the aim to strengthen ties with local tire manufacturers and expand its presence in the growing Indian tire market. The return, Mesnac said, reflected its commitment to "long-term development" in the country.

According to the Chinese group, VP Wang Zhiming and his team held discussions with representatives from several Indian tire makers, including both existing customers and established industry players. The talks included "technical exchanges on core equipment", Mesnac said. Mesnac said that its booth attracted nearly 100 professional visitors per day during the exhibition, helping to reinforce relationships with existing customers and establishing new contacts.

Mesnac said it plans to continue 'deepening' its presence in India through technology and service support as the country's tire industry continues to expand and modernize.
