Our communities

A small and powerful team from Yokohama TWS Sweden joined the Blodomloppet race in Malmö on May 14. The aim of the race is to pay attention to the vital blood donation.

The association Blodomloppet Sweden is a non-profit association whose members are sports associations and blood centers.

The purpose of the race is to draw attention to and manifest the need for blood donation and to promote a healthy lifestyle.

The past year, over 4,000 individuals chose to become blood donors in connection with the Blodomloppet race, and many blood centers report an increased interest in becoming blood donors in the local community following the event.

On May 12, 2024, over 600 of our employees and their families gathered at the TWS Tivoli site for a day of joy and discovery, together.


This special event celebrated our diverse and inclusive culture, offering fun activities suitable for all ages. Our green spaces transformed into vibrant playgrounds with bouncy inflatables, and we proudly showcased wheelchair ball games to underscore our commitment to inclusivity.


Everyone got a special look at how we make our tires, seeing the hard work and dedication that goes into each one. From bouncing around to exploring our production plant, the day was all about having fun, learning and being together.


A big thank you to everyone who made it a memorable day, which has further united us and extended our sense of community.

Stay tuned for more updates. Together, we grow!

At #YokohamaTWS, our commitment to communities and improving lives is unwavering.

On November 4th, we organized an impactful 5K run at our Charles City facility in Iowa (United States), with all proceeds dedicated to the Wounded Warrior Project.

Over 25 dedicated employees volunteered their time to ensure the event's success!

The funds raised will contribute to the Wounded Warrior Project, supporting programs that empower, employ, and engage injured veterans in our communities.

Excited and proud to be part of this non-profit cause, we're already gearing up for 2024, aiming to broaden our impact.

At #YokohamaTWS, we believe in giving back to the communities where we operate. That's why we are proud to participate in the Křižovatka Foundation project, making a meaningful contribution to the neonatal department of the Krajská nemocnice T. Bati, a.s. in Zlín (Czech Republic).

In a recent ceremony, representatives from our Zlín plant, along with other companies in the region, handed over 27 breath monitors to the neonatal department. These monitors play a vital role in newborn care, providing immediate alerts if a baby experiences breathing difficulties. This allows for timely intervention and potentially life-saving assistance.

The monitors not only detect respiratory arrest but also monitor apnea pauses and irregular breathing patterns. To further support new mothers, the maternity hospital in Zlín offers the option to borrow a breath monitor for up to six months, with the possibility of extension if needed.

We are honored to contribute to this important cause and support the well-being of the youngest members of our community. Together, we are making a difference!

Our Feira de Santana's plant, in Brazil, celebrated World Environment Day by offering employees the chance to plant tree seedlings. This initiative aimed to promote environmental awareness and create a sustainable future. It was a memorable and educational moment.

In addition to tree planting informative lectures for employees on water conservation, proper waste disposal, and selective collection were organized. An additional upcoming project will be launched to create a community vegetable garden in partnership with Centro Lar Mariano, further extending our environmental efforts. These are only few of the several actions that are part of our strategic sustainability plan, here at Yokohama TWS.

Susana Riske, Environmental Supervisor, emphasizes the impact of our actions: "Every individual act makes a difference for our city, ourselves, and future generations."

Let's continue our commitment to a more sustainable world!

#TWS is a proud supporter of our local communities across Italy and we are big fans of sport initiatives and events that improve the wellbeing of our Employees and others.

This is why we started partnering with Romanes Wheelchair Rugby sporting club (since 2022). It’s the first club formed in Rome to promote wheelchair rugby, a paralympic sport started in the 1970s and now practiced by more than 5000 athletes worldwide.

Our Italian HQ colleagues have even taken part in training sessions of these incredible athletes in Rome, playing alongside them to learn more about this sport. It’s been a fantastic occasion to learn new things, meet new people and really see things from a different perspective.
Our sincere thanks go out to the Romanes Wheelchair Rugby sporting club for welcoming TWS and especially to Luca Giovannini, Francesco Carone, Roberto Angelucci, Marco Morganti, Stefano Varrone and Giorgio Martello for representing TWS in this new adventure. We can't wait to partner with more initiatives like this!

At #TWS, we want to help local communities where we do business grow. And that means engaging with students of all ages to help them navigate the future of work.
Among our initiatives worldwide, our Prague (Czech Republic) Team organizes factory tours for elementary, middle and high school kids and college students.
Last year saw terrific participation and really positive feedback on the experience.
TWS staff also took part in the Student Scientific Conference in Prague, where we had the opportunity to introduce our company, hear all about student projects and hand out awards for the very best presentations.

We look forward to organizing and participating in more of these events in 2023!

Here at #TWS we contribute to a better society.Our Company and our People are always active participants in various social activities to give back to their local communities. This time, it's up to our fantastic colleagues in Sri Lanka. For the #Planet: our employees took part in a beach clean-up along the coast of Wattala, to help preserve the environment for everyone to enjoy. For the #People: more than 100 employees donated blood to the Sri Lanka's Blook Bank, an annual commitment to support people in need.
Thanks to all our colleagues in making the difference for a better society.

Holiday season is a time of joy and our TWS team and their families spent one beautiful day in our global headquarters in Tivoli (Italy), surrounded by a unique nature landscape. TWS is the place where we all spend most of our time and we shared lots about our workplace with our children from painting tires, plant tour to magic shows and amusement park. More than 1000 people joined the Family Day in this very special time of the year in the spirit of sharing.

Many colleagues from our site in Rome teamed up with Insieme per l’Aniene organization for the environmental protection of the Valle dell’Aniene natural reserve (Rome – Italy).

With the necessary equipment (shears, bags and razors), the team was able to restore the naturalistic area to its original beauty and pristine state by collecting as much waste as possible along the main routes across the protected reserve Valle dell’Aniene.

Taking care of the areas where we live is what we’re committed to for a better #future.
