Bridgestone New Zealand Limited was formed in September 1998 following the merger of two leading tyre companies: Bridgestone and Firestone. The company, a subsidiary of the global giant Bridgestone Corporation, is the sole tyre manufacturer in New Zealand. Its Papanui plant in Christchurch is one of the largest employers in the area and has been a significant contributor to the community since its opening in 1947. The plant marked a milestone in 2006 by producing its 35 millionth tyre. Notably, it is currently manufacturing high-quality Bridgestone, Firestone, and Supercat branded tyres. Additionally, Bridgestone New Zealand Limited operates three retread factories across the country, catering to the local commercial retread market. The Bridgestone Corporation is globally renowned as the leading tyre manufacturer, supplying a wide range of tyres for various vehicles and machinery, including cars, trucks, buses, construction and mining vehicles, industrial machinery, agricultural machinery, aircraft, and motorcycles. These products are available through numerous retailers in New Zealand, such as Firestone, Bridgestone Pole Position, Tony’s Tyre Service, Bridgestone Firestone Commercial, Bridgestone Truck Centre, and other Bridgestone stockists. These retailers also offer an extensive range of tyre-related services, further solidifying Bridgestone's presence and influence in the New Zealand market.
