Pirelli is a global tire manufacturer founded in Milan in 1872. The company designs and produces premium, high-performance tires for cars, motorcycles and bicycles, with a particular focus on the premium passenger-car segment and on tailor-made solutions developed for prestigious car manufacturers. Its technical work spans tire engineering, materials science, high-performance tire technology and custom OEM development.

Motorsport forms a core part of the company's product development. Pirelli is the official tire supplier for Formula 1, using racing as a testing ground in demanding conditions and transferring what it learns to everyday road tires. The company holds more than 5,900 patents and employs some 2,000 research and development professionals, with R&D investment running above 5% of revenues from high-value products.

Pirelli operates 18 factories across 12 countries and serves more than 160 markets worldwide.

The company's long-standing emphasis on control as well as performance shapes both its product philosophy and its technical disciplines.
