Dunlop Tires has been around ever since the year of 1889. Dunlop Tires is more formally known as Dunlop Rubber. Dunlop Rubber first started out to be a British manufacturer of multiple rubber products and goods that was multinational at the same time. The founder of Dunlop Tires is named Harvey du Cros. Harvey du Cros later found himself doing business with a gentleman named John Boyd Dunlop. Before we get into too much detail of Dunlop Rubber Company, let it be stated that John Boyd Dunlop was actually the first person to develop, manufacture, and produce the first ever pneumatic tire. As the years started to progress, the Dunlop Rubber Company soon grew to be one of the largest, well-known tire company that was British operated.

    Fast forward to the years of the late 1890’s, the Dunlop Rubber Company began to attain its very own rubber mills. By acquiring rubber mills on its own, the Dunlop Rubber Company started to introduce and produce rubber. The Dunlop Rubber Company was formerly known as the Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Company but later on that changed. In the year of 1901, the majority of its holding was used to rename the company from the Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Company to the Rubber Tyre Manufacturing – Dunlop Rubber Company.

    The Rubber Tyre Manufacturing – Dunlop Rubber company was founded in Europe, Birmingham, England to be exact. The headquarters of the Dunlop Rubber Company is actually founded in a city named Akron, which is in the state of Ohio, in the United States. The Dunlop Rubber Company has been known to serve multiple areas across the globe. Some of the most infamous areas that have been served by the Dunlop Rubber Company are North America, Australia, Europe, and New Zealand.

    Prior to the war, the Dunlop Rubber Company had employed over seventy thousand workers and had consisted of sales outlets all across in the world in almost every country. The Dunlop Rubber Company has been known to create new innovations for the tyre market. For example, in the year of 1948, the Dunlop Rubber Company came up with a new product that weakened the chances of a blowout in the tyres by creating the self-sealing tyre. In addition to this, in the early years of the 1950’s, the first ever anti-lock braking system which is better known as the term of Maxaret. As the years progressed, so did the Dunlop Rubber Company. The Dunlop Rubber Company had taken over nearly half of the United Kingdom’s tyre industry by the year of 1955.

    Like most companies, the Dunlop Rubber Company experienced a few lows in the business before it experienced ultimate highs in the business. The Dunlop Rubber Company began to decline during the time period of the early 1960’s. The decline was due to the fact that the Dunlop Rubber Company made an executive decision to change the use of steel-belted radial tyres to a more cheaper and less durable version of textile radial tyres. Because of this, the Dunlop Rubber Company began to get defeated by companies using and manufacturing durable steel-belted tyres such as Michelin, amongst other manufacturing companies. When this began to happen, the quality and productivity in the United Kingdom was poor.

    In due time, the Dunlop Rubber Company began to make changes to better itself to the company it once originally was, if not better. In the year of 1967, the Dunlop Rubber Company changed its name to the Dunlop Rubber Company Limited to the Dunlop Limited. The change of the company name was specifically made to represent the diversified essence of the company. At the same time, nearly sixty percent of the industry turnover were represented by the tyres and sales of the tyres came from the overseas by at least sixty percent. The Dunlop Rubber Company founded its chairman in the year of 1968. The chairman of the Dunlop Rubber Company was known to be Sir Reay Geddes.

    The Dunlop Rubber Company became the thirty-fifth biggest association in the world, outside of the United States by the years in the late 1960's. Jump start to the year of 1970, it should be known that the Dunlop Rubber Company officially employed over one hundred two thousand workers. The Dunlop Rubber Company decided it was a smart business decision to associate itself with Pirelli. The Dunlop Rubber Company united with Pirelli of Italy in the year of 1970. The merge between the Dunlop Rubber Company and Pirelli of Italy became the third largest tyre manufacturer company across the globe, falling just short of Firestone and the Goodyear Company.
