The company is an independent division of Continental AG. ContiTech history Continental Aktiengesellschaft was founded in 1871 in Hanover. Here, our pioneers manufacture Germany’s first pneumatic bicycle tire and clever scientists invent the first retreaded tire. With these inventions, Continental becomes the market-leading tire manufacturer. The company's reputation grows not only under the influence of tires but also under the influence of other technical products: when Germany's first airship took to the air in July 1900, its gas tanks were sealed with Continental's hot air balloon material. The new rubber-alloy shock absorbers absorb shocks and make driving safer and more comfortable. With our compressible offset printing rubbers, we achieved a leading position in the international market for decades. Our transmission systems enable safe transmission in even more powerful engines. Air suspension systems ensure a smoother ride for commercial and rail vehicles while fuel and service fluids flow through Continental hoses. Continental is also an active player in the mining industry: steel cable conveyor belts have revolutionized the transportation of material in the mining industry. The success of all these products will lead to the creation of a new special group under the ContiTech brand in 1991. By 2004, ContiTech AG had grown to become the world's largest supplier of non-tire rubber products. In 2008, the car of the future will be equipped with ContiTech's transmission, interior materials, bearings and fluid technology to ensure safe mobility. Continental completed acquisition of the American rubber company Veyance Technologies Inc., in Fairlawn, Ohio, on January 30, 2015. With the most important acquisition in the company's recent history, the international Automotive supplier, tire manufacturer and industry partner is strengthening its worldwide industrial business.
