Michelin in Canada
Michelin North America (Canada) Inc. is Canada's largest manufacturing employer in the tire industry. In all, over 3,700 people work in its three Nova Scotia manufacturing plants and at its head office in Laval, Quebec. Michelin was founded in Canada in 1941, and in 2011 the company will celebrate 40 years of manufacturing operations in eastern Canada. Michelin produces tires for both individual and commercial customers nationwide. As a testament to Michelin reliability, the public transit vehicles in several major Canadian cities, including Montreal, Quebec City, Regina, Winnipeg and Vancouver, are equipped with MICHELIN® tires. From coast to coast, on two wheels or four, Michelin is without a doubt a better way forward.
