All companies have a beginning.
And every company has a founder. But there are few
companies in which its founder was clearer about
his purpose than Bridgestone.
Even before his venture into the world of tyres,
Shojiro Ishibashi proved he was quite an entrepreneur.
In 1925, he pioneered the mass production of Tabi;
a traditional Japanese footwear in Kurume City in
the southern island of Kyushu. Spurred by Japan's
rapid industrialisation, he conducted research in
the tyre market and made his first tyre in 1930.
In 1931, Ishibashi's realised his dream of becoming
the first Japanese tyre manufacturer when he established
the Bridgestone Tire Co. Ltd. |
