Continental AG Overview

Continental AG is an auto-parts manufacturer and supplier based in Germany. Incorporated in 1871 as a rubber goods company, Continental shortly became the leading producer of rubber tires in that country. The company was established as the fourth largest producer of automobile tires worldwide by 1991. During the late 1990s, Continental diversified its operations by moving production to parts of Asia, Eastern Europe, South America and Mexico and branching out into automotive systems research and technology.

Today, Continental remains a forerunner in automotive research and development and has a large product portfolio. Headquartered in Hanover, Germany, Continental has offices and plants on six continents. It has become one of the top five automotive supply companies in the world and follows only Bridgestone, Michelin and Goodyear in the manufacture of tires.
