Pirelli Company Description
What do cars and buildings have in common? Pirelli can make them both go. The company's main activity is in tires (or tyres, as the company spells it), with real estate second, followed by a smattering of other offerings including broadband access, renewable energy, and R&D. Pirelli makes tires for cars, industrial and commercial vehicles, motorcycles, and farm machinery at about 25 plants located in a dozen countries. Its real estate sector invests in European real estate companies and provides financing services and real estate management. The company is also known for its stylish media campaigns; its famous calendar has revved more than a few motors. Giovanni Battista Pirelli formed the company in 1872.
