Our heritage

The First Stop network is supported by Bridgestone, a company based on a long tradition of innovative thinking.

It’s a story that goes back to 1925. Our founder Shojiro Ishbashi first pioneered the mass production of Tabi, a traditional Japanese footwear item. Then, inspired by the rapid industrialisation of Japan, he researched new automotive technology, before making his first tyre in 1930. A year later, the Bridgestone name was officially born and today we are the biggest tyre manufacturer in the world.
