About Goodyear

It was, well, a good year for the Goodyear company, as it produced $19.5 billion in net sales. It is also the largest manufacturer of tires in North and Latin America, according their website.

The company, which ranked No. 16 on the Best Corporate Reputations list for 2008 released by the Reputation Institute, runs more than 60 plants in 25 countries. Goodyear Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President Robert Keegan pointed out in his Letter to Shareholders in the company’s Annual Report that the company was named the “World’s Most Admired Automobile Parts Company” in 2008 by Forbes magazine. The same publication also called Goodyear “One of America’s Most Respected Companies” and was on the list of the “Most Trustworthy Companies in America.”

Frank A. Seiberling started Goodyear in a factory made of strawboard in 1898 in East Akron, Ohio. He sold, amongst other things, tires for carriages and bicycles, rubber poker chips and fire hoses. In 1925, one of the most distinguishable and recognized advertising symbols in the world – the Goodyear Blimp – debuted.

Goodyear’s History

In 1932, the company developed the first-ever hydraulic brakes for airplanes; and in 1947, Goodyear made the first tires from nylon. In 1970, the Apollo 14 Modularized Equipment Transporter landed on the moon with Goodyear tires.

The company is best known for its tires, which constituted 87 percent of the company’s sales in 2008, compared to 88.6 percent in 2007 and 2006. It manufactures tires for automobiles, trucks, airplanes, industrial equipment, mining equipment and motorcycles; as well as for off-road vehicles, farming equipment, rubber tread and retreading materials and truck tire flaps. Goodyear also provides automobile repair services in some areas.
