Global Credit Manager

Description

For 65 years, TBC has committed itself to being “a tire company ahead of the curve.” In large measure this has meant anticipating key market trends and successfully capitalizing on them at every turn. From Wholesale to Retail, both nationally and internationally, that foresight has allowed TBC to become the industry leader in the private brand tire category.   TBC markets on a wholesale basis to regional tire chains and distributors serving independent tire dealers throughout the US, Canada, and Mexico. Through its NTW distribution centers, TBC also markets directly to independent tire dealers across the US.  The TBC Brands division represents 20 proprietary brands of tires specializing in passenger, commercial, farm and specialty tires.  Each brand is produced by nationally recognized manufacturers and has a reputation for quality, safety, and value. These brands are distributed to independent retailers and wholesalers throughout the US, Canada and Mexico.  In 2005, TBC Corp. was purchased by Sumitomo Corporation of America (SCOA). SCOA is the largest subsidiary of Sumitomo Corporation (SC), one of Japan’s major integrated trading and investment business enterprises.  In 2018 Michelin, the largest tire manufacturer in Europe, invested in the company which is now a 50:50, privately held joint venture between Sumitomo and Michelin.
