History

In 1956, a purchasing group of tire retailers formed Cordovan Associates. The Company changed its name to Tire & Battery Corporation in 1972. Only eleven years later, after much success, Tire & Battery Corporation went public (NASDAQ: TBCC). In 2005, the Company was purchased by Sumitomo Corporation of America (SCOA). SCOA is the largest subsidiary of Sumitomo Corporation, 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. This joint venture created NTW (National Tire Wholesale) a combination of Michelin's TCi and TBC's Carroll Tire forming the second-largest player in the wholesale tire distribution market in the United States.
