Continental Industry company history timeline

1899

Registration under the brand name Continental – including for drive belts – dates back to 1899.

1900

ContiTech was involved in the development of an icon in early aviation, the first Zeppelin LZ1, that took off for the first time on July 2, 1900.

1907

From 1907 on, the first V-belts for motorcycles were added.

1909

Besides the Zeppelin story, another milestone in the history of mobility is closely linked to our aircraft fabrics: When Frenchman Louis Blériot became the first person to cross the English Channel in an airplane in 1909, the wings of his plane were covered in our fabrics.

1913

Before the advent of the first alternators from 1913, vehicles were still illuminated with gas lamps.

1961

After the Berlin Wall was built in 1961, our conveyor belts helped separated families to stay in contact.

2010

Thanks to its special material expertise, in 2010 ContiTech succeeded in developing a lightweight air spring with an innovative rolling piston made of fiberglass-reinforced polyamide instead of conventional steel or aluminum – with fully utilized internal volume.
