Company positioning and business
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, commonly known as Goodyear, is an American multinational tire manufacturer headquartered in Akron, Ohio. It develops tires for automobiles, motorcycles, trucks, recreational vehicles, heavy off-road machinery, aviation and military. It also licenses the Goodyear brand to bicycle tire manufacturers, returning from a break in production between 1976 and 2015. [3]
Founded in 1898 by Frank Seiberling, the company was named after American Charles Goodyear (1800–1860), inventor of vulcanized rubber. The first Goodyear tires became popular because they were easily detachable and required little maintenance. Goodyear was a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average between 1930 and 1999. Since 2021, the company has been the world's third-largest tire manufacturer by annual revenue. It was the first foreign tire manufacturer to enter China when it invested in a plant in Dalian in 1994. [3]
The company is a major tire supplier for auto racing, including NASCAR, NHRA and sports car racing. Previously it also competed in Formula One and Indianapolis 500. Though Goodyear had been manufacturing airships and balloons since the early 1900s, the first Goodyear advertising blimp flew in 1925. Today, it is one of the most recognizable advertising icons in the country. [3]
