Osnovan u Hanoveru u Nemačkoj, 1871. godine, Continental je jedan od vodećih svetskih dobavljača automobilske industrije. Sa više od 178,000 vrhunski-obučeno zaposlenih u preko 269 lokacija u 46 različitih zemalja, mi značajno i održivo vozimo progres automobilske industrije napred.

In 1898, initial successes in development and production were celebrated with the production of automobile pneumatic tires with a plain tread. At the turn of the century Continental balloon fabric was used to seal the gas cells of the first German airship. In 1904 Continental became the first company in the world to develop grooved tires for automobiles, in 1905 we commenced production of rivet anti-skid tires, similar to the later studded tires, and three years later we invented the detachable wheel rim for touring cars. In 1909, French aviator Louis Blériot was the first person to fly the English Channel. The flying surfaces of his monoplane were covered with Continental Aeroplan material.

In the late 1920s, the company merged with major companies in the rubber industry to form “Continental Gummi-Werke AG”.

In 1951 we commenced production of steel cord conveyor belts. In 1955, we were the first company to develop air springs for trucks and buses. Series production of belted tires began in 1960. Around 30 years later we brought the first environmentally friendly tires for passenger cars onto the market.

In 1995 the Automotive Systems division was established to intensify the systems business with the automotive industry. We presented the key technology for hybrid drive systems back in 1997.

Today, Continental ranks among the top 5 automotive suppliers worldwide.
