Kumho Tire has once again demonstrated its global design competitiveness by winning the German Design Award (GDA) 2026.

The world-renowned award is organized by the German Design Council, which was established in 1953. Leveraging its extensive industrial network and expertise in bridging design and business, the council annually recognizes innovative and forward-looking projects and products.

Kumho Tire was honored in the Automotive Parts and Accessories category under the Excellent Product Design division for its ultra-high-performance tire ECSTA SPORT.

The award-winning ECSTA SPORT is engineered to maximize the driving performance of high-powered vehicles. It features a zigzag tread pattern that enhances stability at high speeds, while its asymmetric tread design—differentiated between the inner and outer sections—ensures optimal performance across a variety of road and weather conditions.

In addition, the tire incorporates a protruding checkered-flag motif within the tread grooves. This design not only reduces road noise but also improves resistance to hydroplaning on wet surfaces, enhancing both functionality and overall design quality.

“The distinctive tread design featuring the dynamic checkered flag motif gives ECSTA SPORT a striking identity,” said the GDA jury. “The blend of functional precision and design clarity is particularly impressive.”

“It is especially meaningful that Kumho Tire has achieved consecutive recognition at major global design awards, including the GDA, the U.S. IDEA Design Awards, and Japan’s Good Design Award,” said Young-Jin Kim, Head of R&D at Kumho Tire. “As tire design is a core element that directly reflects product quality, we will continue to strengthen our premium brand value by developing products that combine advanced technology with differentiated design expertise.”

Kumho Tire recently further solidified its reputation for innovation by winning the Product Concepts category at the iF Design Award 2026 in Germany for its Omni Ring.

This year, Kumho Tire earned the award for its on- and off-road tire, the ROAD VENTURE RT. With this achievement, the company has now won at the Red Dot Design Award for seven consecutive years since 2020.

The ROAD VENTURE RT is engineered to deliver exceptional performance across on-road and challenging off-road environments, including rocky and muddy terrain. To enhance durability and wear resistance, the tire features a robust tie-bar tread design. In addition, a “Stone Ejector” pattern—inspired by the form of cracked earth and rocks—has been incorporated into the base of the grooves to reinforce an off-road aesthetic.

Furthermore, a gear-shaped protective block (side biter) has been applied to the upper sidewall. This design not only reinforces a rugged visual identity but also helps reduce the risk of damage from external impacts, improving driving stability.

“It is especially meaningful that Kumho Tire’s design excellence has once again been recognized at the prestigious Red Dot Design Award,” said Young-Jin Kim, Head of the R&D Division at Kumho Tire. “We will continue to develop products that achieve a balance between outstanding performance and innovative design, in line with evolving market demands.”

Kumho Tire has continued to demonstrate its design competitiveness this year, securing consecutive wins at major global design awards, including the iF Design Award and the German Design Award. The company plans to further strengthen its premium brand value by advancing innovation in both design and product development.

Kumho Tire has chosen Opole, Poland as the location for its first European manufacturing plant, marking a major step in strengthening its global production network across Asia, Europe, and North America. The new factory will begin initial operations in August 2028 with an annual capacity of six million tires, backed by an investment of US$587 million.

Opole was selected after evaluating multiple European regions, offering strong logistics, skilled labor, competitive infrastructure, and attractive government incentives. Europe accounts for 25% of global tire demand and contributed 26.6% of Kumho’s revenue in 2024, making it a strategically important market.

The European plant will enhance Kumho’s ability to supply high-value-added products, improve competitiveness in the original equipment (OE) sector, and strengthen partnerships with major European car manufacturers.

In parallel, Kumho Tire is also building a new plant in Hampyeong, Korea, set for completion in 2027. With facilities in Korea, Europe, and North America, the company aims to establish a fully integrated global production framework to meet regional market needs and accelerate growth.

In particular, the TOP 14, enjoys broad popularity, with an average close to 15,000 spectators per match. Stade Toulousain is widely regarded as one of the top teams in Europe.

Under the sponsorship deal, Kumho’s logo will feature on the players’ kit, on LED screen boards during matches at Stade Ernest-Wallon, the team’s home stadium, and on the team’s website and social media channels. Kumho will work with Stade Toulousain to organize joint events and conduct promotional activities as part of its effort to engage directly with the team’s global fan base.
