Pirelli history

The brand history dates back to 1872, when an Italian engineer Giovanni Battista Pirelli founded the company G.B. Pirelli & C. for the manufacture of rubber products. The company grew fast, and as soon as in 1902 launched its first foreign plant in Spain that specialized in manufacturing rubber and cable products. A lot of racing cars of that time were equipped with Pirelli tires. The company's senior staff devoted significant attention to innovation development, so the Pirelli company has a number of inventions to its credit. The most substantial of them are:

• invention of a pneumatic car tyre with firm attachment to the wheel rim in 1901;
• a patent for a tread pattern designed for the first asphalted roads in 1914;
• introduction of P7 low profile auto tyres in 1974, and then PZERO ultra-low profile tires in 1989.

Nowadays the company keeps implementing innovation solutions into manufacturing by annually investing in the development about 3% of the profit, and over 7% of the revenue that exceeds the expectations.
