Continental AG, commonly known as Continental and colloquially as Conti, is a German multinational manufacturing company. Headquartered in Hanover, Lower Saxony, it is one of the world's leading tire manufacturers. Following the spin-off of its automotive technology division as Aumovio in 2025, Continental now focuses on two core businesses: Tires and ContiTech (rubber and thermoplastic products for industrial customers).
The divisions Chassis and Safety, Powertrain, Interior and ADAS belonged to the Automotive segment, which was spun off as Vitesco (2021) and Aumovio (2025). ContiTech is earmarked for sale in 2026. It sells tires for automobiles, motorcycles, and bicycles worldwide under the Continental brand. It also produces and sells other brands with more select distribution, such as Viking (limited global presence), General Tire (U.S./Canada), Gislaved Tires (Canada, Spain, Nordic Markets), Semperit Tyres, Barum to serve EU and Russia. Other brands are Uniroyal (Europe), Sportiva, Mabor and Matador and formerly Sime/Simex tyres (now Dunlop Tyres Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei).
