Over a century of experience in rubber technology

It all started in 1900 when Harvey S. Firestone founded the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company manufacturing tires for the first mass-produced automobiles in America. In the next decades Firestone expanded to a worldwide organization developing diversified rubber products. Today the Firestone brand is internationally known as a symbol of quality rubber products.

Experience extended to the roof

In 1980, Firestone Building Products entered the commercial roofing industry building upon Firestone’s success and experience in rubber polymer technology.
Starting with a single plant for the production of single-ply EPDM rubber waterproofing membranes in Prescott, USA – the largest EPDM manufacturing facility in the world – the company quickly increased capacity to meet customer needs. Throughout the years Firestone Building Products has grown from one to thirteen plants and expanded into multiple product lines, including EPDM rubber membranes, thermoplastic membranes, modified bitumen and polyisocyanurate insulation.

Success leads to new applications

Success in its commercial roofing business has led Firestone Building Products to expand into non-roofing applications for its high-quality waterproofing membranes, including masonry waterproofing and lining of decorative ponds, agricultural ponds and canals.

Commitment to international marketplace

In 1990, Firestone Building Products decided to expand in markets outside the USA with the establishment of a branch office in Brussels, Belgium, the company’s regional head office for Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Today, Firestone Building Products' Regional Office has set up a wide network of distributors, contractors and sales representatives throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Asia
