MICHELIN®A LITTLE HISTORY
In 1889 two
brothers, Édouard Michelin and André Michelin, ran a
rubber factory in Clermont-Ferrand,
France. One day, a cyclist whose pneumatic tire needed repair turned up at the
factory. The tire was glued to the rim, and it took over three hours to remove
and repair the tire, which then needed to be left overnight to dry. The next
day, Édouard Michelin took the repaired bicycle into the factory yard to test.
After only a few hundred metres, the tire failed. Despite the setback, Édouard
was enthusiastic about the pneumatic tire, and he and his brother worked on
creating their own version, one that did not need to be glued to the rim.
Michelin was incorporated on 28 May 1889. In 1891 Michelin took out its first
patent for a removable pneumatic
tire which was used
by Charles Terront to
win the world's first long distance cycle race, the 1891 Paris–Brest–Paris.
Michelin
developed and patented a key innovation in tire history, the 1946 radial tire, and successfully
exploited this technological innovation to become one of the worlds leading
tire manufacturers. The radial was initially marketed as the
"X” tire. It was developed with the front-wheel-drive Citroën Traction Avantand Citroën 2CV in mind. Michelin had
bought the then-bankrupt Citroën in the 1930s. Because
of its superiority in handling and fuel economy, use of this tire quickly
spread throughout Europe and Asia. In the U.S., the outdated bias-ply tire persisted, with market share of 87% in
1967.
In
1989, Michelin acquired the recently merged tire and rubber manufacturing
divisions of the American firms B.F. Goodrich Company (founded in 1870) and
Uniroyal, Inc. (founded in 1892 as the United States Rubber Company).
As of
1 September 2008, Michelin is again the world's largest tire manufacturer after
spending two years as number two behind Bridgestone. Michelin produces
tires in France, Spain, Germany, the USA, the UK, Canada, Brazil, Thailand,
Japan, Italy and several other countries.
