"The Bridgestone Essence" is composed of the integrated corporate culture, diversity and a shared sense of values that can be embraced by Bridgestone employees around the world.
First tyre manufactured
At Bridgestone, our goal is to become a truly global company and to achieve “Dan-Totsu”, the absolute and clear leader in Japanese, in our industries. The roots of our company date back to 1931, when
Bridgestone Tire Co., Ltd. was established in Kurume, Japan.
Anticipating the future potential of tyres for passenger cars and the international development of the business, founder Shojiro Ishibashi used an English translation of his surname for the name of the company.
Founder
Shojiro Ishibashi
As Japan's automobile industry grew, the Bridgestone Group expanded its business to become Japan's largest tyre manufacturer. The company actively expanded overseas, particularly in Asia. In 1988, the company acquired The Firestone Tire
& Rubber Company. This transformed Bridgestone into one of the world's largest tyre and rubber companies.
Apart from our core tyre business, Bridgestone’s Diversified Product segment manufactures a broad range of products, which include industrial rubber and chemical products, and sporting goods.
Headquartered in Tokyo, Bridgestone supplies its products to over 150 nations and territories around the world.
In the Asia Pacific region, Bridgestone locates its regional headquarters in Singapore, overseeing the operations of tyre production and sales facilities, as well as supplying its products across more than 25 countries in the region.
Our presence in Asia Pacific includes manufacturing plants, sales companies, proving grounds, training centres, and technical centres. Bridgestone has over
23,000 employees in this region*.

Since 1986, Bridgestone has been supporting the Leukaemia Foundation in Australia through various initiatives such as providing Patient Transport Vehicles, funding blood cancer research, assisting with patient accommodation and participating in fund-raising activities for the Leukaemia Foundation such as “Light the Night” and
“World’s Greatest Shave”. Bridgestone is proud to have its commitment honoured by having the Leukaemia Foundation’s new accommodation facility in Adelaide named

Health Check-up Camps for Rural Villages (India)
To combat high mortality rates and the spread of communicable diseases and other general illnesses among the local population living in rural India, Bridgestone began initiatives to raise health and hygiene awareness in the local communities around its facilities since 2009. Efforts include door-to-door explanations and distribution of information pamphlets, organising health check-up camps, as well as eye check-ups and vaccination camps with the help of medical specialists.
Technical Training School for Students (Indonesia)
Bridgestone established the Loka Latihan Kerja Bridgestone (LLKBS) in 1981 with the aim of nurturing skillful and reliable young technicians to support the Indonesian industry. The engineering training school provides free two-year training courses in
Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, including English and Japanese language subjects, as well as management knowledge, for high-school graduates who need the necessary skills to work in the industry. Each year, 24 students graduate from the school, and many of them have been employed by Bridgestone.

Road and Tyre Safety Activities (Vietnam)
Bridgestone aims to improve the awareness of road and vehicle safety with the goal of reducing traffic accidents. In Vietnam, safety-related activities done annually include tyre check services, tyre safety seminars and “Car Care Day” events. At the tyre check service, truck, bus and passenger car drivers have their tyres inspected and serviced, while consultants share tips on tyre care and maintenance. The “Tyres and Essential
Knowledge on Tyres” seminars bring together a panel of experts to educate drivers on proper vehicle handling techniques. At "Car Care Day", free car maintenance is provided to keep vehicles well maintained to prevent avoidable accidents.
