Hutchinson Tyres

Hutchinson is a legendary French brand with a history spanning over 160 years. Founded by Hiram Hutchinson in 1853 in Châlette-sur-Loing, France, the company initially specialized in rubber-coated fabrics before evolving into a global leader in rubber processing. Today, Hutchinson is widely recognized for its high-performance bicycle tyres, being one of the few brands that maintains its main production facilities in France, specifically at its historic site in Langlée.

Beyond the cycling world, Hutchinson is a major player in the aerospace, automotive, and defense industries, specializing in vibration control, fluid management, and sealing systems. The brand is a cornerstone of French industrial engineering, known for pioneering technologies such as the Tubeless Ready tyre system which revolutionized modern mountain biking and road cycling.

Since 1974, Hutchinson has been a subsidiary of the TotalEnergies group (formerly Total). This ownership provides the company with significant resources for research and development, allowing it to remain at the forefront of material science. While the brand maintains a strong 'Made in France' identity for its premium products, it operates a vast global network of production sites to serve various industrial sectors worldwide.
