Continental Decides to Make ContiTech Independent
- ContiTech will operate independently as a material solutions specialist with a strong industrial focus; the form of the transaction and exact timetable for independence will be determined in the next step
- Continental will become a global company focused on tires
The Continental Executive Board has decided to make the ContiTech group sector independent. The preparatory phase that now follows will involve analyzing and assessing the possible transaction forms for independence and drawing up a timetable for implementation. The Executive Board will decide on this in the next step. As things stand, Continental considers a sale of ContiTech to be the most likely option. This is to be implemented after the spin-off of the Automotive group sector and the sale of the Original Equipment Solutions (OESL) business area. Subject to the necessary resolutions, ContiTech could become independent in the course of 2026.

On April 8, 2025 our CEO Nikolai Setzer together with the CFO Olaf Schick and Christian Kötz, Member of the Executive Board Group Sector Tires, and Philip Nelles, Member of the Executive Board Group Sector ContiTech, were conducting an analyst and investor conference call on Continentals decision to make ContiTech independent.
