Toyama Tyre Corp., Ltd describes itself as a Japanese tyre company covering research and development, design, manufacture, sales and after-sales service. Tyrepress wrote in January 2012 that the firm was originally set up as a Japanese entity, that its leadership had since moved to China, and that its factory is in Qingdao in Shandong province. The brand name comes from the city of Toyama in Japan.
