Falken Tyre Europe changes name to Dunlop Tyre Europe GmbH

Falken now part of Dunlop Tyre Europe
Falken Tyre Europe GmbH (Falken) has officially confirmed that the company is now operating under its new name, Dunlop Tyre Europe GmbH. The name change has been officially entered in Offenbach’s Local Court commercial register, marking another milestone for the Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd subsidiary.
This change is both a logical and strategically important step towards a stronger European brand presence for Dunlop. At the same time, this transition would not have been possible without the strong foundation Falken has built through its high brand awareness, consistent quality and the support of a dedicated team.
Under its new name, DUNLOP is strengthening its position as a globally recognised brand with a focus on growth, innovation and sustainability.
A visible sign of this new beginning will follow on Monday, 2 March, with the naming of the Dunlop City Tower. The Dunlop logo will be unveiled during a ceremony at the City Tower in Offenbach. The Lord Mayor of Offenbach, Dr Felix Schwenke, will attend the event together with the Managing Directors Hiroshi Hamada and Markus Bögner, as well as the expanded DUNLOP team.
Markus Bögner, Managing Director and President of DUNLOP Tyre Europe GmbH, said: “The name change is an important milestone of which we can be very proud. It strengthens our identity and underlines that we are ready for the next steps. Our strong heritage with Falken is and remains part of our success, laying the foundations for Dunlop’s future in Europe. Our thanks go to all our employees and partners who have supported and accompanied us on this journey.”
