#4: SMART Innovation Lab

As part of our mission at The SMART Tire Company, we like to say that we are creating “the next great American tire company”. That’s why we’re so proud to announce our first physical location in Cleveland (Akron), Ohio starting this summer. Just minutes from NASA Glenn Research Center and the epicenter of the tire industry, we’ll soon be bringing new jobs to Ohio as we collaborate with NASA on bringing this revolutionary tire tech to market.

Not every successful company is an agent for positive change, but at SMART we are dedicated to creating jobs, making transportation more eco-friendly AND delivering a great product, all right here in the USA and built on American ingenuity. With this new facility we’ll be bringing R&D in-house to develop new advanced materials, breakthrough improvements, rubber integration and special vertically integrated prototypes & products, from METL™ to many more! Due to overwhelming inbound interest, we are currently evaluating potential opportunities in aerospace, eVTOL, automotive and more.
