The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company GT

GT Company Overview

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is a U.S.-based global tire manufacturer that designs, manufactures, markets, and distributes tires and related mobility products and services. The company operates primarily within the automotive and transportation industries, serving passenger vehicle, commercial trucking, aviation, industrial equipment, mining, and off-the-road markets. Its core revenue drivers are replacement tires for consumer and commercial vehicles, original equipment tires supplied to automakers, and fleet mobility and tire management services. Goodyear also generates revenue through retreading, chemical products, and digital fleet solutions.

Founded in 1898 in Akron, Ohio, Goodyear evolved from a regional rubber products manufacturer into one of the world’s largest tire companies through international expansion, acquisitions, and technology development. The company owns several globally recognized brands, including Goodyear, Dunlop (in certain markets), Kelly, Cooper, and Mastercraft. A major milestone in its recent evolution was the acquisition of Cooper Tire & Rubber Company in 2021, which expanded Goodyear’s product portfolio, manufacturing footprint, and distribution network. Goodyear’s strategic positioning is supported by its global manufacturing scale, long-standing relationships with automotive OEMs, advanced tire technology capabilities, and broad dealer network.
