The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is an American multinational tire manufacturing company founded on August 29, 1898, by Frank Seiberling in Akron, Ohio. Named after Charles Goodyear, who discovered the vulcanization process for rubber in 1839 (though not directly related to the company), Goodyear has grown into one of the world's largest tire manufacturers. The company produces tires for automobiles, commercial trucks, light trucks, SUVs, race cars, airplanes, farm equipment, and heavy earth-moving machinery. Goodyear is also known for its iconic Goodyear Blimp, which has been a fixture at major sporting events since 1925 and serves as one of the most recognizable corporate symbols in America. The company's popular consumer tire lines include the Assurance, Eagle, and Wrangler families. Goodyear has a rich motorsport heritage, with tires featured in NASCAR, IndyCar, and various international racing series. The company operates approximately 55 manufacturing facilities across 22 countries and employs around 72,000 people. Goodyear also owns the Kelly-Springfield, Dunlop (in certain markets), and Cooper Tire brands following the acquisition of Cooper Tire & Rubber Company in 2021. The company continues to innovate with intelligent tire technology, sustainable materials, and airless tire concepts for future mobility.
