Cooper Tires

Cooper Tires is a renowned American brand with a heritage dating back to 1914, when it began as a manufacturer of tire patches and repair kits in Akron, Ohio. Over the decades, it evolved into Cooper Tire & Rubber Company, becoming one of the most recognizable names in the global tire industry, known specifically for its focus on light truck, SUV, and passenger car tires.

In June 2021, a major shift in ownership occurred when Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company completed its acquisition of Cooper. This merger combined two historical American tire giants, positioning Goodyear as the undisputed leader in the North American market. While the Cooper brand remains a distinct and vital part of the portfolio, it now benefits from the expanded research, development, and distribution network of its parent company.

Manufacturing for Cooper Tires is global in scale. While the brand maintains a strong production presence in the United States—with major plants in Ohio, Mississippi, and Arkansas—it also utilizes a vast international supply chain with manufacturing facilities in China, Serbia, Mexico, and the United Kingdom.
