Goodyear, Bridgestone-Backed Company Inks Headquarters Lease In Central Perimeter

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. and Bridgestone Americas Inc. have inked 30K SF at One Ravinia for their new joint company, TireHub, which will focus on distributing larger rim diameter premium tires, the Atlanta Business Chronicle reports. In economic development circles, the deal was known as Project Hawk, according to the ABC.

The new company — a 50-50 joint venture between Goodyear's wholesale distribution network and Bridgestone-owned Tire Wholesale Warehouse — will have more than 80 distribution centers and warehouses across the country, a scale that will allow it to reach a majority of retail locations in the U.S. upon launch, the company said in a statement.
