MICHELIN: SCA Compagnie Générale des Établissements Michelin is a French company specialized in tire manufacturing, founded by brothers Édouard Michelin and André Michelin on May 28, 1889, developed for bicycle tires. Its headquarters are located in the city of Clermont-Ferrand, capital of the Puy-de-Dôme department, in the geographic center of France. Together with Bridgestone, it is one of the largest tire manufacturers in the world.
The company participates in various motorsport categories, mainly in the Motorsport World Championship and the World Rally Championship.
History
In 1889, brothers Édouard and André Michelin ran a rubber factory in Clermont-Ferrand, France. One day, a cyclist whose tubed tire needed repair appeared at the factory; it was stuck on 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 bicycle to the factory yard to test it. After a few hundred meters, the tire failed. Despite the setback, Édouard was excited about the tubed 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 incorporated 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: Paris-Brest-Paris in 1891.
The mascot of this company is called "Bibendum," a white character formed by tires. This 'tire man' was created in 1895, three years after the automobile was born. The bulging shape of this friendly character has led to the term michelines to refer to excess body fat around the waist in Spain, Brazil, and Chile. In the rest of Spanish America, they are called rims or tires. Bibendum was designed by Marius Rossillon, imitating the stacked human silhouette made of Michelin tires. Its image has evolved throughout the history of the tire brand.
