Pirelli was founded in Milan in the 19th Century. It was a rubber company that made tires and cables but as of recently it became only a tire manufacturer. The company sponsors numerous soccer clubs in Europe as well as Brazil. It's best known by race fans as a huge sponsor in Formula and Le Mans Series racing. Surrounding the factory is hundreds of acres of land that is home to new facilities and mixed-use development which has led to a new company known as Pirelli Real Estate.
