Zodo Tire was set up in August 2011 as Shandong Longyue Rubber in Cao County, Heze. Weifang Huadong Rubber bought the company in 2018 and gave it the Zodo name. Tyrepress reported that the group runs Huadong Rubber, Zodo Tire and Haohua Tire as three separately managed businesses. Zodo could build 60,000 tyres a day in 2022.
Zodo's CITEXPO profile gives yearly capacity of 28 million semi-steel radials and 5 million all-steel radials, with more than 5,000 staff. The all-steel side grew in 2023, when Zodo acquired Kaixuan Rubber from Yuelong Tire Group. The China Rubber Industry Association placed Zodo 19th among Chinese tyre makers in its 2022 ranking.
In April 2024 Tyrepress reported Zodo's plan for a Cambodian factory making 6 million semi-steel and 1.2 million all-steel radials a year. The US transport department's manufacturer database now lists Zodo Tire (Cambodia) Co., Ltd in Svay Rieng Province with Fronway among its brands.
