Michelin Tyres

Michelin is a global leader in the automotive industry, renowned for its commitment to safety, performance, and durability in tyre manufacturing. Founded by brothers Édouard and André Michelin in 1889, the brand famously pioneered the pneumatic tyre, revolutionizing both the bicycle and automotive sectors. The company is perhaps as famous for its travel guides and the iconic Michelin Man (Bibendum) as it is for its rubber products.

Today, Michelin operates a vast industrial network to support global Demand. Manufacturing takes place across dozens of facilities worldwide, with major production hubs in France, Germany, the United States, China, Thailand, and Brazil. This decentralized manufacturing strategy allows the brand to optimize logistics for regional vehicle specifications and climate requirements.

Michelin remains an independent powerhouse in the corporate world, headquartered in Clermont-Ferrand, France. It is the ultimate parent company of several other well-known tyre brands, including BFGoodrich, Uniroyal, and Tigar. As the company moves toward 2026 and beyond, it is heavily investing in sustainable mobility, focusing on airless tyre technology and materials recycling to maintain its position at the forefront of the transportation sector.
