Continental Tyres was founded in 1871 in Hanover, initially manufacturing soft rubber products and solid tyres for bicycles and carriages. The year 1904 was a milestone for Continental and the automobile industry, when Continental presented the world's first automobile tyre with a patterned tread. Continental is today the No. 1 tyre manufacturer in Germany and the No. 1.
