TBC Corporation (TBC) is an American corporation and marketer of automotive replacement tires.

History

In 1956, a purchasing group of tire retailers formed Cordovan Associates. The Company changed its name to Tire & Battery Corporation in 1972. Eleven years later, Tire & Battery Corporation went public (NASDAQ: TBCC). In 2005, the company was purchased by Sumitomo Corporation of America (SCOA), one of Japan's major integrated trading and investment business enterprises. In 2018, Michelin North America and Sumitomo Corporation of Americas combined their respective North American tire distribution and related service operations in a 50–50 joint venture agreement, creating National Tire Wholesale (NTW).

Company operations

TBC markets on a wholesale basis to regional tire chains and distributors serving independent tire dealers throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Through distribution centers, the company also markets directly to independent tire dealers across the United States. NTW sells a wide variety of proprietary and national brands from 50 distribution centers.
