Cooper Tire
Cooper Tire manufacturing company is well known for its superior rubber products
that can be found getting people from here to there around the world. Cooper
Tire was founded in 1914 in Findlay, Ohio and has since expanded to five
locations in North America, including two facilities in Mississippi.
Mississippi
boasts having Cooper Tire facilities in both the Delta town of Clarksdale and
the North Mississippi commercial center, Tupelo. The Clarksdale facility is
crucial in Cooper Tire’s manufacturing assembly line. It is responsible for
mixing and producing the raw materials used when tires are molded into their
final form. The quality of these raw materials is what defines the overall
quality of the Cooper Tire products. It also manufactures the inner tubes found
in many tires, especially larger scale and high performance tires. The
Clarksdale facility supplies inner tubes and mixed rubber compounds for the
other facilities stretching its base of distribution from Mississippi and
Georgia to Arkansas and up to Ohio. The Tupelo facility is used to manufacture
the final products for Cooper Tire. This facility is used in tire assembly,
molding, treading, quality assurance testing, and final distribution to North
American dealers and carriers.
Cooper Tire employs over 1300 Mississippi
residents. Its mission for providing quality products as a fair and competitive
manufacturer with reasonable prices has set this Mississippi business on the
track for continued success. Cooper Tire also stands by its belief in civic
responsibility. Its website promotes civics and voting, and environmental
responsibility not only for its employees but also consumers.
