The following Overview Statement was taken directly from the company website.

 

BRIDGESTONE AMERICAS HOLDING, INC.

MISSION STATEMENT

 

Bridgestone Americas Holding, Inc., through its subsidiaries, is an international manufacturer with 55 production facilities throughout the Americas.  The Nashville Tennessee-based company is the largest subsidiary of Bridgestone Corporation, based in Tokyo, Japan.  We trace our roots to the establishment of The Firestone Tire & Rubber Company in 1900.  It was then that 31-year-old Harvey S. Firestone started tire production with 12 employees in Akron, Ohio.

 

On the other side of the globe in 1931, Shojiro Ishibashi created Bridgestone Tire Company Ltd.  He created the company name by reversing the English translation of his own. "Ishibashi," which literally means, "stone bridge" in Japanese.

 

Bridgestone Americas is proud to carry on the tradition of excellence established by its founders, blending Japanese and American methods to provide quality products.  Our philosophy is summed up by the mottos of these two visionaries.  Shojiro Ishibashi of Bridgestone challenged his associates to "Serve Society with Superior Quality."

 

Harvey Firestone's constant goal for his company was to be the "Best Today - Still Better Tomorrow."
