Is Firestone A Chinese Company? The Truth About Its Ownership

Firestone Tire and Rubber Company is an American tire company. It was founded by Harvey S. Firestone in 1900.

Firestone has a rich history and a strong presence in the United States. While Firestone has been part of the Bridgestone Corporation since 1988, the Firestone brand is still widely recognized and respected in the US. Bridgestone, a Japanese company, acquired Firestone to expand its global reach and capitalize on the strong reputation of the American brand.

It’s important to note that Bridgestone is a Japanese company, not a Chinese company. So, while Firestone is now part of a Japanese company, it is still an American company with a long tradition of producing high-quality tires.
