With millions of drivers on the road around the world, reliable tires are critical to ensuring safety and performance, especially during wet weather conditions. Producing high-quality tires that meet these criteria can be difficult, but Kraton has a proven history of helping manufacturers push the boundaries of innovation for a better driving experience.
For more than half a century, Kraton has been a key supplier to the rubber industry. We also worked with tire producers for over 25 years, partnering with the majority of leading manufacturers to develop best-in-class tires that deliver differentiated results.
