For the second time in two decades, Continental has exited the agricultural tyre business. First off, Continental executives sold the well-known German tyremaker’s agricultural tyre business to the Czech based company CGS in 2004. (CGS subsequently adopted the brand name Mitas and that operation was sold to Trelleborg Wheel Systems in 2016. The combined Mitas/Trelleborg Wheel Systems officially became part of Yokohama in May 2023). For 13 years the sale of Continental agricultural tyres in 2004, Continental agricultural tyres were manufactured under license by Mitas until 2017. In 2016 Continental announced its decision to re-enter the agricultural tyre market.
