Continental AG

Continental AG, commonly known as Continental, is a leading German automotive manufacturing company specialising in tires, brake systems, automotive safety, powertrain and chassis components, tachographs, and other parts for the automotive and transportation industries. Continental is based in Hanover, Lower Saxony, Germany. Continental is the world's fourth-largest tyre manufacturer. Continental was founded in 1871 as a rubber manufacturer, ''Continental-Caoutchouc und Gutta-Percha Compagnie''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History 1871 - 1926 )〕 After acquiring Siemens AG's VDO automotive unit in 2007 Continental was ranked fourth in global OEM automotive parts sales in 2009 according to a study sponsored by Ernst & Young LLP.
In 2008, Continental appeared overextended with its integration of VDO and had since lost almost half of its market capitalisation when it found itself to be the takeover target of the family-owned Schaeffler AG. By 2009, Schaeffler successfully installed the head of its motor division at the helm of Continental.〔
On 6 September 2012, Continental returned to the benchmark DAX index of 30 selected German blue chip stocks after a 45-month absence. Schaeffler AG is the controlling shareholder and currently owns 46% of Continental shares.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.conti-online.com/generator/www/com/en/continental/portal/themes/ir/share/share_structure_en.html )
== Overview ==

Continental is structured in five divisions:
* Chassis and Safety
* Powertrain
* Interior
* Tires
* ContiTech
One of Continental's main areas of expertise and technological leadership is fuel consumption reduction, achieved through more efficient fuel injection systems, reduced rolling-resistance tires, and hybrid propulsion systems.
Continental sells tires for automobiles, motorcycles, and bicycles worldwide under the Continental brand. It also produces and commercialises other brands on a regional level, such as General, Euzkadi, Uniroyal, or Barum. Continental's customers include all major automobile, truck and bus producers, such as Volkswagen, Daimler AG, Ford, Volvo, Iveco, Schmitz, Koegel, Freightliner Trucks, BMW, General Motors, Toyota, Honda, Renault, PSA and Porsche.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Continental-General-Tire-Corp-Company-History.html )〕〔
In 2001, Continental acquired a controlling interest in Temic, DaimlerChrysler's automotive-electronics business, which is now part of Continental Automotive Systems. The company also purchased German automotive rubber and plastics company Phoenix AG in 2004, and the automotive electronics unit of Motorola in 2006.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Continental Corporation )〕 Continental acquired Siemens VDO from Siemens AG in 2007.
In Argentina, teamed up with FATE in 1999 for the production of tires for cars, trucks, and buses and exports the production of the San Fernando plant to the rest of South America. In 2007, the company began to construct a plant in Costa Rica to produce powertrain components for North America. The plant was to open in two phases and ultimately employ 550 workers.
