Maxtrek is a passenger car, SUV and 4x4 tyre brand made by Zhaoqing Junhong Co., Ltd in Zhaoqing, Guangdong. The company was set up in 2006 and makes only semi-steel radial tyres, so the brand has no truck and bus line from its Chinese plant. Junhong also owns the Antares brand and broke ground on a second factory in Kuantan, Malaysia, in June 2019.

Zhaoqing Junhong Co., Ltd was established in 2006 in Guangdong, a province with few tyre makers compared with Shandong. European Rubber Journal reported in 2019 that the company had 1,000 employees and annual capacity of more than 6 million tyres. A Malaysian government delegation that toured the Zhaoqing factory in August 2017 was given a figure of 7 million units a year on a 130 acre site.
Junhong held a groundbreaking ceremony on 15 June 2019 for a plant in the Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park in Pahang, run by Maxtrek Tyre Manufacturing Malaysia Sdn Bhd. Tyrepress put the site at 121.4 hectares. The designed capacity was 6 million passenger car and light truck tyres plus 500,000 truck and bus tyres a year, which would be the first truck tyre output under the Maxtrek name.
Passenger car (PCR). Summer patterns for small and mid-size cars, sold in Europe in 175 to 235 widths, 40 to 70 series and 14 to 19 inch rims. The Maximus M1 is the volume touring pattern and the Ingens A1 the lower-profile one.
SUV and 4x4. Highway, all-terrain and mud-terrain patterns in metric, LT-metric and flotation sizes. The Sierra S6 highway pattern alone was offered in 46 sizes in the United Kingdom in 2015, starting at 215/75R15.
