GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER CO /OH/ Business Summary

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co (GT) is a global leader in the manufacturing, distribution, and sale of rubber tires and related services, primarily generating revenue through high-volume transactions in the replacement and original equipment (OE) markets. The company operates through three regional segments: Americas; Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA); and Asia Pacific. Following the 2025 completion of its "Goodyear Forward" transformation plan, the firm has pivoted toward a high-margin, premium-product mix, supported by the strategic divestiture of its off-the-road (OTR) tire business, the Dunlop brand, and its chemical division. Goodyear maintains its position as one of the world's top three tire manufacturers by revenue, competing directly with Michelin, Bridgestone, and Continental AG by leveraging a vast global footprint of 57 manufacturing facilities and over 1,200 service centers. Founded in 1898 by Frank Seiberling, the company is currently led by Chief Executive Officer and President Mark Stewart, who joined in 2024 with a high-pedigree background as the former COO of Stellantis and a senior executive at Amazon. The leadership team includes Executive Vice President and CFO Christina Zamarro, Senior Vice President and CTO Chris Helsel, and recently appointed Americas Managing Director Dave Cichocki, who joined in January 2026 to drive sales execution. The company’s strategic direction is heavily influenced by its Board of Directors, chaired by Laurette T. Koellner, and notable institutional backing from Elliott Investment Management, which was instrumental in the recent operational overhaul. Other prominent board members include CSX CEO Joseph R. Hinrichs and Crane Company CEO Max H. Mitchell, reflecting a board deeply rooted in industrial and automotive expertise.
