Continental Reifen Deutschland GmbH: Always on the move
The company Continental was founded in 1869 when it took over a small rubber manufacturer from Hanover: With the founding of Continental-Caoutchouc and Gutta-Percha Compagnie in 1871, the tire manufacturer developed into an innovative technology company.
Even then, technical and scientific progress set the tone, so that as early as 1904, Continental launched the world's first air-filled tire with tread on the market. A few years later, the first removable rim followed. In the 1970s and 1980s, when Continental took over various tire companies such as Semperit, Uniroyal and Barum, the company also impressed the international market. With increasing success. Today, Continental is known all over the world for its tires and is one of the world's leading companies in the automotive industry.
