Michelin History
Founded in 1888 in France, Michelin is now the world's largest tire manufacturer (right along with Bridgestone)

Along with the Michelin brand, Michelin also owns BFGoodrich, Taurus, Kormoran, and Uniroyal (minus in Australia).

The company currently employs over 100,000 people and makes around 20 billion in revenue a year.

The world's first long distance cycling race was won on a tire created by Michelin in 1891.

Since then Michelin has continued to be a pioneer in the research and development of tires.

For example, their Active Wheel uses motors inside the tire to free up space in the front and rear of the car.

Their mascot, the Michelin Man, is also well-known around the globe.
