Continental Tyres
Continental was founded in Hanover on 8th October 1871. The company started life making buffers for horseshoes and solid tyres for carriages. Consequently, in 1882, the iconic stallion horse was adopted as the company's trademark! Today, with sales exceeding 40 billion, the Continental Corporation is one of the top automotive suppliers worldwide. The group now produces truck, bus, coach, agricultural, construction and motorcycle tyres under the Continental, Uniroyal, Semperit & Barum brand names.
The company's global workforce exceeds 199,000 employees who are all united to deliver the best solution for each and every market and customer. The Continenal range of industrial tyres are well regarded and offer quality and performance for forklift trucks and industrial machinery. The agricultural sector was until 2015 licensed out to the Mitas Tyres group, but with that relationship ending there had been a gap in production of agri tyres using the Continental name until 2020. The Continental group have now re-entered the agricultural tyre market with a new and improved range manufactured in their own owned and run manufacturing facilities.
