MAKING GOOD ON ITS PROMISE

Goodyear Malaysia delivers on its commitment to road safety through the years

THE EARLY YEARS

Goodyear Malaysia can trace its roots all the way back to 1929, when the first batch of Goodyear tyres were shipped from the Goodyear Sales Company in Singapore. Several years later, after a healthy level of demand, Goodyear Malaysia was officially established.

A MATTER OF NATIONAL PRIDE

In 1985, PROTON officially launched its first car – the iconic Proton Saga. With the nation’s reputation to uphold, the first-generation Proton Saga needed to have it all – looks, reliability and most of all safety. As a proponent for road safety, Goodyear Malaysia was a natural choice for a tyre partner. Out of the factory, every Proton Saga that was rolled out were equipped with Goodyear GT 70 tyres that offered excellent grip on both wet and dry surfaces.

SETTING THE STANDARD

Goodyear Malaysia quickly rose to become one of the world’s top tyre manufacturing companies and has achieved excellent performance in both sales and technology. On the Malaysian front, the company became the first Goodyear tyre plant to be certified ISO 9002 in October 1992, subsequently in 2002, it obtained the QS9000 and ISO14001 certifications followed by ISO / TS 16949 certification in 2003.

RECOGNITION OF EXCELLENCE

Locally, Goodyear has received multiple awards from the top automotive companies, including Toyota’s Outstanding Quality Performance Award in 2003, Proton’s Best Overall Performance Award, Perodua’s Quality Performance Award for 2008/2009, Honda’s Supplier of the Year Award and Inokom’s Top 5 Performing Vendor Award in 2015. Goodyear Malaysia has also been named as most the Most Trusted tyre brand by Reader’s Digest for seven consecutive years!

CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COMMUNITY

Goodyear Malaysia realises the importance of engaging with its community. We have organised various events to provide Malaysian drivers with the right knowledge on tyres, such as tyre safety checks. Starting in 2017, Goodyear also began to organise the Goodyear Battle of the Clubs (BOTC) challenge, which is an exclusive community gathering of avid car enthusiast.
