MICHELIN: SCA Compagnie Générale des Établissements Michelin is a French company specializing in tire manufacturing founded by brothers Édouard Michelin and André Michelin on May 28, 1889, developed for bicycle tires. Its headquarters are in the city of Clermont-Ferrand, capital of the Puy-de-Dôme department, in the geographic center of France. Along with Bridgestone, it is one of the world’s largest tire manufacturers.
The company participates in various motorsport categories, mainly the MotoGP World Championship and the World Rally Championship.
History
In 1889, the brothers Édouard and André Michelin ran a rubber factory in Clermont-Ferrand, France. One day a cyclist whose pneumatic tire needed repair arrived at the factory; it was glued to the rim and took more than three hours to remove and repair, after which it had to be left overnight to dry. The next day, Édouard Michelin took the repaired bike to the factory courtyard to test it. After a few hundred meters, the tire failed. Despite the setback, Édouard was excited about the pneumatic tire, so he and his brother worked on creating their own version, one that did not need to be glued to the rim. Michelin was established on May 28, 1889, and in 1891 it obtained its first patent for a detachable tire that was used by Charles Terront to win the world’s first long-distance bicycle race: the Paris-Brest-Paris of 1891.
The company mascot is called “Bibendum,” a white character formed by tires. This “tire man” was created in 1895, three years after the automobile was born. The bloated shape of this friendly figure has led to the term michelines referring to excess fat around the waist in Spain, Brazil, and Chile. In the rest of Spanish-speaking America they are called llantas or cauchos. Bibendum was designed by Marius Rossillon, imitating the stacked tire silhouette of Michelin. Its image has evolved over the history of the tire brand.
