The Excellent Quality Of Cooper Tires Is Known Across The Globe

By Reva T. Senger


Cooper Tires is part of a globally recognized family of companies devoted toward producing quality products as their story describes how they have developed, grown, expanded and succeeded. In 1914 two brothers-in-law by the names of Charles E. Hart and John F. Schaefer acquired the M and M Manufacturing Company in Akron Ohio, which is where the story begins. The products manufactured by this business included tire patches, tire cement and tire repair kits, which eventually increased and led them to become a tire production giant expanding its products, in its distribution system, marketplace and also its manufacturing facilities.

In 1915 the brothers-in-law acquired The Giant Tire And Rubber Company of Akron that was a tire rebuilding business, which was one of the many acquisitions that helped the company grow and expand. During the World War II era when the focus of most people and businesses was on patriotism, this company did their part to help by converting their hard goods department to wartime production to demonstrate their flexibility as their contribution.

Cooper Tires became a publicly held corporation that was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1960 and changed its name to Cooper Tire And Rubber Company. Over the years they expanded their products and manufacturing plants to become one of the largest industrial companies in the United States joining the ranks of Fortune 500 companies. Through acquisitions they continued to evolve giving those fifty manufacturing facilities in nine countries including the Standard Products Company that increased by 10,000 their number of employees.

They sold off the automotive business to provide new opportunities for growth as they decided to return the company to its core business of tire manufacturing. They have capitalized on North American dealer relationships and strong customer service to become a top brand for tire manufacturing around the world. This business focuses on the special design and production of quality tires for a broad range of vehicles and a variety of driving situations. All around the world they are recognized for producing superior tires with excellent control, a long-wearing tread and providing a smooth ride.

This business is very well positioned as a pre-eminent producer of high-performance and ultra high performance tires worldwide. You can find passenger tires designed and manufactured that are available for cars and minivans, sport truck and sport utility vehicle tires, high performance and maximum performance tires, touring and winter tires and even superior tires for all terrain use. They supply a large variety of tires that can be used for vehicles that are just about any type. It is simple to see why they have become so popular and grown.
