About us
Business Field Bladders
Founded in 1871, Continental has extensive know-how in tyre technology and consequently, in the manufacturing and application of bladders for tyre production.
The ContiBladders Unit has been established to focus all bladder related expertise and resources from various areas of our corporation into one organisation to better serve our worldwide customers.
We are committed to create value for our customers by providing high quality ContiBladders for curing and tyre building at competitive prices.
Every year we manufacture more than 750.000 ContiBladders used in our customer’s plants worldwide.
In our warehouses we constantly keep about 70.000 bladders on inventory for quick delivery.
Triggered by customer specific requirements, we develop new solutions for curing and tyre building bladders, applying e.g. Finite Element Method (FEM) and the full range of R&D resources available at Continental.
Using our products, you benefit from our experience of producing more than 150 million tyres per year in Continental plants.
With ContiBladder manufacturing sites on three continents and tyre plants all over the world, we have our products and application support as close as possible.
Wherever you are, we are nearby.
