Goodyear Manifesto
New technologies are changing the world at an unparalleled pace
Technological boundaries are being broken quicker than ever before
Yet while the world continuously changes, there's one thing that never will
The universal desire to protect the ones we love
It is this that drives us at Goodyear
Always has
Always will
It is this that drives the desire to innovate new products
Innovation – Making The Best Better
Innovation – the continuous flow of creative new ideas, products and materials – has always been at the very core of Goodyear's activities. The company established a major research facility in 1943, which has since received thousands of patents. Major inventions by Goodyear's scientists and technicians have been used not only in tyres and automotive products, but also in artificial hearts and joints, adhesives, artificial turf for playgrounds and food packaging, to name only a few.
Cutting-edge Research – Goodyear Research was the training ground for Paul Flory, a Nobel laureate in the field of polymers. Two research associates have been awarded the Goodyear Medal, the highest award of the Rubber Division of the American Chemical Society, which honors scientists and engineers who have made outstanding innovations.
Rubber and Polymer Science – Goodyear Research scientists and engineers today come from all over the world and continue working at the cutting edge of rubber and polymer science. They have also branched out into such diverse fields as computer science, physics, mathematics, engineering mechanics, metallurgy and others to create a myriad of unique materials and processes.
