In 1921, just a few years after its establishment in 1917, Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd. launched Japan 's first cord-type tires. Since then, we have remained at the cutting-edge of tire technology.

Since its establishment, the Company has manufactured a diversity of products as a comprehensive rubber chemicals manufacturer. In 1992, Yokohama formulated its basic philosophy "To enrich people's lives and contribute to their greater happiness and well-being by devoting our wholehearted energies and advance technology to the creation of beneficial products."

Besides its mainstay automobile tires, Yokohama offers a broad spectrum of products that range from golf, industrial and marine-related products to aerospace products.

In the field of high-performance tires, Yokohama is synonymous with superb sports car performance combined with high levels of comfort.

The superiority of all our tire lines is soundly based. We draw on the know-how we have accumulated through competing in motor sports at the highest level, and apply it to the design and manufacture of tires for use on production vehicles.

Yokohama Rubber Co. determined to stay abreast of consumer demand globally; anticipating changing needs and meeting them through the very latest in tire production technologies.
