Kormoran Tyres are produced in Poland by Stomil-Olsztyn and owned by the world-renowned Michelin Group. Combining Michelin’s innovation with accessible pricing, Kormoran delivers quality tyres for drivers who want durability and safety on a budget. Learn how this long-standing Polish brand has evolved under Michelin’s ownership to serve drivers across Europe.
When selecting and buying new tyres for your vehicle, there are several decisions you need to make and things you need to consider. These include things like seasonal build and the cost of tyres – both factors which separate different options on the market.
But the most integral separating factor is the brand of the tyres you choose.
There are countless different brands and manufacturers out there, many of which are now owned by the same companies at the top and forefront of the market.
With that in mind, who makes and owns Kormoran Tyres?
The History of Kormoran Tyres
Lots of the smaller tyre brands that are now owned by big organisations and groups were once independent manufacturers, producing relatively small stock levels for the market.
Kormoran first started life as a rubber product factory in 1935. It only expanded into the tyre market in 1994, with a takeover by Polish company Stomil-Olsztyn pushing Kormoran into the passenger vehicle sector.
But it doesn’t end there.
Kormoran actually falls as part of the Michelin tyre Group – making it a small cog in a much larger machine.
While not a direct competitor to any of Michelin’s other tyres and brands, Kormoran does benefit from the connection with this leading company – as well as its approach and access to innovation and quality. In fact, Kormoran Tyres is just one example of a brand that makes the Michelin group more accessible to a wider pool of vehicle owners and drivers, owing to its more affordable status.
