The Superior 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 reveals how they have developed, grown, expanded and succeeded. It all started back in 1914 when two brothers-in-law by the names of Charles E. Hart and John F. Schaefer purchased the M and M Manufacturing Company in Akron Ohio. The products manufactured by this business included tire patches, tire cement and tire repair kits, which eventually grew and led them to become a tire production giant expanding its products, in its distribution system, marketplace and also its manufacturing plants.

The company grew and expanded through various acquisitions including the Giant Tire And Rubber Company of Akron that was a tire rebuilding company purchased by the brothers-in-law in 1915. Throughout the World War II era when the focus of many 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.

The Cooper Tire And Rubber Company was the new name selected by Cooper Tires as they became listed on the New York Stock Exchange and became a publicly held corporation in 1960. 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.

Eventually they chose to return the company to its core business of tire manufacturing selling off its automotive business to provide new opportunities for growth. All around the world this company is regarded a top brand for tire production as it capitalizes on strong customer service and their North American dealer relationships. The design and production of quality tires for a wide variety of vehicles and driving situations has become their specialty. All over the world they are recognized for producing superior tires with excellent control, a long-wearing tread and providing a smooth ride.

As a pre-eminent producer of high-performance tires and ultra high-performance tires this manufacturer is globally positioned. This company designs and manufactures an incredible line of passenger tires including high-performance tires, maximum performance tires, touring tires and winter tires for cars, minivans and sport utility vehicles even all terrain vehicle tires. Just about every type of vehicle can be fitted with a wide variety of tires they furnish. This probably explains their growth and popularity.
