At 19In 1966, the company moved its headquarters to Findlay, Ohio, where the first factory was opened.
This was another step towards further expansion, which was due to the creation in 1967 of a new branch of the company - Hercules Tire International. This subsidiary quickly established a partnership with the Belgian brand Uniroyal, whose tires entered the American market through Hercules Tire International. As the early bosses of Hercules mentioned, their motto was "The customer is king" ("The customer is king", known to us in the more familiar form "the customer is always right"). That is why, in addition to their products, they wanted to present their customers with the widest possible offer. nine0006
