Cooper

सामान्य जानकारी

The Cooper name has a proud and storied heritage that goes back more than 100 years to 1914, when brothers-in-law John F. Schaefer and Claude E. Hart purchased M and M Manufacturing Company in Akron, producing tire patches, tire cement and tire repair kits. A year later, Schaefer and Hart purchased The Giant Tire & Rubber Company of Akron, a tire rebuilding business, and two years later moved the business to Findlay, Ohio.

The origins of the Cooper name go back to 1920, when Ira J. Cooper, a director for the company Schaefer and Hart founded, formed the Cooper Corporation. The company grew in subsequent years through mergers, acquisitions and expanding sales. During World War II, the company demonstrated its flexibility and patriotism by converting its “hard goods” department to wartime production.

The firm changed its name to Cooper Tire & Rubber Company in 1946 and by July 11, 1960, the company became a publicly held corporation and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Throughout the next five decades, the company expanded its products, manufacturing plants, distribution system and marketplace. The company joined the ranks of Fortune 500 companies in 1983 as one of the largest industrial companies in the United States.

It was an especially important year for the company in 2014. Cooper marked its 100th year in the tire business with celebrations around the world to recognize the contributions of our people, the loyalty of our customers, and the importance of our communities.

Today, in 2016, Cooper employs more than 10,300 people and operates in more than one dozen countries around the world and is moving its business forward. The company’s evolved business model positions it well to succeed long-term in the competitive global tire business.
