About us

Michelin's humanist vision: improving mobility, placing technology at the service of human well-being and innovating to open up new horizons.

In a growing world with demanding environmental requirements, our challenge is to innovate to invent the mobility of tomorrow, a profound shift towards cleaner, more connected road mobility that makes more efficient use of energy and raw materials. By 2050 MICHELIN tires will be produced from renewal, recycled biosourced materials. This is made possible through our powerful R&D capabilities and innovative partners.

We support many projects and initiatives around the world by investing in jobs, local business development, security, mobility and education.

... it goes to the heart of how we operate.

We act with respect: we share and uphold a strong set of deeply rooted values. These values are a backbone. The never-changing backbone of what we are, since day one.

9 R&D centers around the world, 123 production sites in 26 countries and a commercial presence in 170 countries and 125,000 employees worldwide, the Michelin Group is now present on every continent.

Michelin's presence in Brazil dates back to 1927, with the start of operations at its commercial office in São Paulo. In 1981, Michelin opened their first factory in the country in the city of Rio de Janeiro. This factory is responsible for the production of tires for trucks and buses. Today there are 4 Industrial Units in Brazil: Campo Grande (RJ), Resende (RJ), Guarulhos (SP) and Manaus (AM) and a headquarter which is located in Rio de Janeiro - RJ. Another important activity in the country is the Michelin Ecological Reserve, in the south of Bahia, where the Michelin Ouro Verde Bahia program is located.
