Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. (SRI) is a Japan-based manufacturer of tires and rubber products headquartered in Kobe. The company develops, produces, and markets tires for passenger cars, trucks and buses, motorcycles, and motorsports, and also operates a smaller business in related rubber-based and sporting goods. Its tire portfolio is sold globally under brands including Falken and Dunlop (with brand rights that vary by region), supported by manufacturing and R&D operations across Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas.
From a materials standpoint, SRI focuses on elastomer science and compounding, using natural and synthetic rubbers, fillers such as silica and carbon black, functionalized polymers, and advanced mixing and simulation technologies to balance rolling resistance, wet grip, wear, and noise. The company also pursues initiatives in sustainable materials and resource efficiency, alongside programs aimed at recycling and other end‑of‑life tire solutions, reflecting ongoing shifts in the tire and broader rubber value chain.
Also known as SRI, Speciaal Roestvrijstaal Industrie B.V., and SRI Veenwouden.
