Michelin Group, a global leader in tire technology, was founded in clermont-ferrand more than 100 years ago. In the long course, Michelin Group invented the first detachable tire for bicycles from 1889 to the first pneumatic tire for automobiles from 1895, and constantly innovated in tire technology and manufacturing. In addition to tires, Michelin Group also produces rims, steel wires, mobility assistance systems (such as PAX system), travel services (such as ViaMichelin and GPS), maps and travel guides, among which map and guide publishing institutions are the leaders in this field. The famous Michelin guide has a history of 100 years since 2000.
On 2011April 18, Michelin Group announced that it had signed a memorandum of understanding with Shuangqian Group Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Huayi Group to set up a joint venture company to produce and sell pull-back trucks and light truck tires for the China market.
