About Michelin Australia

History of Michelin in Australia

Michelin Australia Pty Ltd was established in 1 July 1997 to manage and develop the markets of Australia, New Zealand and the Asia Pacific region. Prior to this, Michelin tyres were imported by local distributors and have been present on the Australian automotive market since the 1940s. The products marketed by Michelin Australia today include tyres for passenger car, light truck, earthmover equipment, heavy truck and bus, agricultural and industrial equipment, aviation, motorcycle and bicycle.

Based in Port Melbourne Victoria, the Michelin Australia Head Quarters is also home to the Michelin Australia Training Centre (MATC). This training centre is one of a few dedicated facilities in Michelin's network of companies in the Asia-Pacific region.

To complete the Australia wide service offering, Michelin Australia is also supported by a network of administrative sales offices in Perth, Sydney and Brisbane.

History of the Michelin Group

Michelin brothers André and Édouard embarked on a great human and industrial odyssey in 1889 – to develop modern transport solutions that assisted freedom and economic development through ceaseless innovation.

Since then the Michelin brand has been associated with many industries and world firsts: the first detachable bicycle tyre (1891), the first paved runway in the world (1916), the first Radial tyre (1946) to just name a few.

Our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan
As part of One Michelin Group Australia we have embarked on a Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan. Our vision for reconciliation is an Australia where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples participate and benefit from the social and economic opportunities created by the industries we serve: mining, transport, agriculture, energy, ports and processing. In terms of reconciliation, we will create equal employment opportunities, strive to be an open and inclusive workplace for all, and support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals and businesses within our communities to thrive.
