SUMITOMO RUBBER INDUSTRIES, LTD. Company Profile. Sumitomo Rubber is on a roll and is yet to tire of tires. A key player in the Sumitomo Rubber Group, the company is Japan's #2-maker of passenger, truck, and racecar tires. Its line offers aluminum car wheels, too. Sumitomo Rubber allies with Goodyear Tire & Rubber to make and sell Goodyear-brands in Japan, and Goodyear makes and markets Sumitomo's Dunlop brand tires in North America and Europe.
Sumitomo is one of the great Japanese keiretsu (diversified industrial conglomerates). There are virtually no categories of goods not made by a Sumitomo company, no categories of services not offered by a Sumitomo company. Sumitomo Gomu (gomu is the Japanese word for rubber) acquired the famed and important British/Irish company Dunlop during the heady days of the Japanese bubble in the 1980s.
