Goodyear Tire & Rubber has announced a strategic evolution in its EMEA brand portfolio, positioning Cooper Tires as its sole second-tier brand.
This development reflects Goodyear’s commitment to delivering a comprehensive and competitive offering across all market segments, whilst building on the consistency, proven durability, and heritage of the Cooper brand.
Founded in 1914, Cooper Tires has built more than a century of trust with drivers worldwide and is well known for producing dependable tyres from rugged all-terrain products to everyday on-road performance. This track record of reliability and performance is the foundation for Cooper Tires to now take on a more prominent role in Goodyear’s strategy in EMEA.
Jan-Piet van Kesteren, Managing Director EMEA & Chief Sales Officer EMEA Consumer. “Cooper Tires has long been known for its strength in the 4×4 and off-road segments in EMEA, and we’re excited to build on that foundation,
“We are amplifying that success by offering Cooper customers a distinctive value proposition in EMEA, combining heritage, durability, and a renewed focus on market-specific needs.”
This evolution comes as Goodyear continues to refine its portfolio for long-term growth, ensuring every driver can find the right product to meet their needs whether premium, value, or budget. Cooper’s broadened role underscores Goodyear’s commitment to ensuring each brand plays to its strengths and delivers real performance without compromise.
Jan Piet adds, “Our portfolio is built on proven performance with Goodyear prominent in the premium space and Cooper Tires continuing to demonstrate consistent quality and durability, we are confident in our ability to deliver the right products, at the right time, to the right markets across our region.”
Goodyear continues to work closely with its network of distributors and retailers to maximise growth and deliver performance-driven solutions. This announcement highlights the company’s focus on innovation, customer trust, and building on the heritage of its most reliable brands.
