Overview

Bridgestone Americas traces its roots to two distinguished companies The Firestone Tire & Rubber Company, founded by Harvey Firestone in Akron, Ohio in August 1900, and the Bridgestone Tire Company Ltd., founded by Shojiro Ishibashi in Japan in 1931.

The two companies merged in 1988 when Bridgestone Corporation purchased Firestone for $2.6 billion, transforming the companies combined operations into the worlds largest tire and rubber company. As part of its integration with Bridgestones existing U.S. operations, Bridgestone/Firestone moved its headquarters from Akron to Nashville in 1992.

Today, Bridgestone Americas (BSAM), consists of an international family of enterprises with 52 production facilities and more than 50,000 employees throughout the Americas.
