PRIDE IN YESTERDAY.
Promise for tomorrow.
James Galoppo Vice-Chairman and President | Dunlop Tires is beginning a new era in its proud history, one we're confident will continue the success story that's been unfolding for more than a century. It's a story of both impressive accomplishments and unlimited potential. It's a story that has, without question, established a truly rich heritage of excellence, a tradition we build upon as we move forward into the 21st century.
As we look back on the history of our growth, there is a lot to know about Dunlop — and a lot to be proud of. For Dunlop Tires, that pride started back in 1888 with a Scottish veterinarian named John Boyd Dunlop, the founding father and namesake of the Dunlop brand.
John Boyd Dunlop | When he set those momentous 19th century events in motion, Dunlop was searching for a way to improve the performance and comfort of his son's bicycle. Something that would give it a smoother ride and better handling. He definitely succeeded, creating the first pneumatic tire, and a company that would later come to be known as Dunlop Tires.
To describe those events as "historic" is more than just an expression of pride. All who've worked with Dunlop Tires during the past century realize just how privileged they've been to be associated with a company that bears the name of a man who quite literally "changed the course of transportation."
The road we have traveled since then has led from a 19th century vision of riding comfort and dependability to the dawn of the 21st century, where Dunlop looks to its future as part of the world's #1 tire manufacturer — The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company — with a greater appreciation than ever for its past. Because that past, especially one filled with so much distinction, is more than just a memory. It's a legacy.
