The name MATADOR reflects the hard work, dedication and quality of each individual employee who works for our company. We believe that the fulfillment of the company’s goals is directly linked to the effort, expertise and skills of our employees.

Therefore, we promote our employees to fulfil their daily tasks, but foremost to be curious and to strive for solutions. We are looking for people, who are enthusiastic and passionate about their work and who wish to constantly improve themselves. We are proud that our employees follow these ideals and help us to push the boundaries further.

The brand MATADOR was established in 1905. At that time, the company’s portfolio focused on products made from rubber. The true success story however, began after 1950, when the tyre production plant in Púchov was built. Within the next 50 years we established the position of one of the largest and most innovative tyre producers in the CEE region. The year 2007, was particularly notable as a milestone in the company’s history. The rubber division of the business was divested to the joint-venture partner Continental AG. This was obviously a hard step to take, since we had to leave behind one of the most important and most successful chapters in the company’s history.
