Sumitomo has always been the exception to the rule. Our uncommon attributes not only separate us from other brands, they give our dealers unrivaled advantages. On one hand, Sumitomo is a major worldwide brand, respected on every continent for technological excellence. On the other, we are positioned as a dealer-oriented profit-builder, a first-tier brand at second-tier pricing. Because Sumitomo Tire is not a manufacturer, we do not have a volume perspective. We are not involved in disruptive channels, OE, and mass merchants that drain inventory and drain our dealers' abilities to compete. Yet, our products come from one of the world's acknowledged quality-focused manufacturers. Because we look at the long-term, we develop relationships that are mutually beneficial and responsible. At the same time, our distribution has grown by leaps and bounds over the last two years. That growth has come because we operate on the same philosophy as you, and place prime importance on taking care of our dealers first. A simple, common sense approach to business keeps our dealers competitive. We offer controlled and consistent programs and pricing across the board, for every dealer in every territory. Sumitomo Tire presents a distribution plan that both protects the integrity of your business and optimizes our brand-building opportunities. In that way, you face less same-brand competition and can profitably grow your business. Sumitomo is one of the world's largest and oldest tire companies. You can count on every tire to deliver the utmost quality, outstanding on-road performance, and highly profitable showroom appeal. We deliver the highest fill rates possible with our unique container program made to order with the products you want.
