Matador – A Legacy of Quality Tyres
Founded in 1905 in Bratislava, the Matador rubber manufacturing plant began producing car tyres two decades later. Its tyre range quickly caught the attention of Czechoslovak automobile manufacturers. By the 1930s, Matador tyres were featured as original equipment on newly manufactured vehicles from iconic brands such as Tatra, Škoda, and Aero.
In 1987, Matador established a research centre dedicated to developing new technologies and collaborating with tyre manufacturers worldwide. Specialising in tyres for passenger cars, vans, and lorries, Matador has remained a popular choice thanks to its durability, affordability, and excellent driving characteristics. Since 2009, Matador has been part of the Continental Group, further enhancing its reputation for quality and innovation.
