Goodyear is devoted to advancing tire technology, and to applying this knowledge to new products that advance driving excellence. At the Akron Technical Center nearly 1,500 engineers, scientists, technicians, and other specialists collaborate to improve our tire manufacturing for a wide variety of vehicles on six continents.
Today, Goodyear measures sales of nearly $20 billion, but they began in a converted strawboard factory in Ohio. Leading their industry for over one hundred years, they've accomplished many firsts that reflect their drive, skill, and total commitment to the industry.
