About The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company

Goodyear’s story began in 1898 when it was founded by Frank Seiberling with the establishment of a factory for the production of bicycle and carriage tires, rubber horseshoe pads, and poker chips. In the turn of the 20th century, Ford became an important customer of Goodyear as they procured racing tires and outfitting for their Model T vehicle. It was around this time in 1909 that Goodyear also broke into the aviation market with the manufacturing of their first aircraft tire. They also had the opportunity to partner with the Luftschiffbau Zeppelin Company to produce two zeppelins in the United States. In 1927, Goodyear went public on the New York Stock Exchange and began developing more products for their various markets. Over the next few decades, Goodyear saw many successful ventures such as manufacturing fighter planes during WWII, forming subsidiaries in foreign markets such as Mexico, expanding into the nuclear processing industry, as well as becoming a multinational corporation with a portfolio of acquisitions and multi-billion dollars of earnings. In 1974, CEO Charles J. Pilliod Jr. decided to invest in radial tires which were quickly becoming an interest in the US market as they had abroad, and the decision proved very worthwhile for Goodyear. Near the end of the 1980’s and into the 1990’s, Goodyear faced major restructuring of their business and many sectors were sold or traded off. Through the 2000’s, they received honor and recognition by many entities including the Wall Street Journal, RI’s Global Pulse consumer opinion survey, and Forbes Magazine. Recently, they have announced that they will build more zeppelins with Zeppelin, as well as created a wholesale distribution network along with TireHub. Currently, they remain a major company in the automobile industry, as well as have retained their place in the Fortune 500 list of United States companies.
