Goodyear Tire & Rubber corporate restructuring
Overview
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is undergoing a strategic restructuring aimed at focusing on core tire products and high-margin segments, such as premium electric vehicle tires.
In late September 2026, institutional investors like Bank of America Corp DE increased their stakes in the company. By October, Goodyear announced it would exit its chemical business, a move that includes closing plants in Bayport, Texas, and Niagara Falls, New York. These closures are expected to impact approximately 85 roles and are projected to improve annual operating income in the Americas segment by $15 million to $20 million starting in 2027.
