GOODYEAR RUBBER PRODUCTS, INC.
CLEARWATER, FLORIDA

GOODYEAR RUBBER PRODUCTS, INC., established in February 1948 by founder Murray Jacobs alongside his Uncle Mo Bilchick, has its roots in providing a diverse range of rubber goods. The company's first storefront appeared at 2734 Central Avenue and was characterized by its family-oriented business model; with integral roles filled by family members across various functions, including financial management, customer interaction, operational support, and logistical coordination. Murray Jacobs initially served local 'Mom-Pop' hardware stores before expanding to cater to industrial rubber product needs of the Florida region. This expansion was catalyzed by industrial growth along the West Central coast of Florida. After Murray's passing in 1986, his wife Jackie and son Bob took charge, steering the company towards further growth with additional outlets such as the 1991 Clearwater satellite, plus subsequent stores in Fort Myers, Bradenton, and Tampa. In addition to its retail presence, Goodyear Rubber Products developed innovative concepts like the 'Hose Doctor' service, which specialized in on-site hose fabrication and installation. The company's product range is notable for being built to ISO 18752 specifications under the GlobalCore brand, targeting constant working pressure class applications. A Florida corporation since October 14, 1963, Goodyear Rubber Products is legally domiciled at 11301 47th St N., Clearwater, FL 33762 and operates as a Domestic Foreign Corporation (DOMP). Its leadership comprises Robert A Jacobs as President, Eric M Von Kaenel as Vice President, and Phillip C Dyer as Secretary.
