today's drivers, because to us, manufacturing a quality product is key to

OUR STORY
A lot has happened since our
humble beginnings.
The Cooper name has a proud and storied heritage that goes back more than 100 years.
In 1915, brothers-in-law John F. Schaefer and Claude E. Hart expanded their tire repair
business and purchased The Giant Tire & Rubber Company in Akron, Ohio, a large-scale
tire rebuilding business.
The rise of a trusted company.
In 1926, Ira J. Cooper developed the “Cooper Creed” which focused the company on providing “good merchandise, fair play, and a square deal.” The vision of Ira J. Cooper continues at Cooper today.
The CooperTire & Rubber Company is
born.
On July 11, 1960, the company became a publicly held corporation and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Throughout the next five decades, Cooper expanded its products, manufacturing plants, distribution system, and marketplace, eventually joining the Fortune 500 as one of America's largest industrial companies in 1983.
