Michelin is one of the largest and most well-known tire companies in the world. With more than 23,000 employees in 34 plants, the Fortune Global 500 company sells around $8 billion worth of tires each year in North America alone. Michelin excels in more than just manufacturing tires – it provides a wide range of digital services, maps, guides, and advanced materials for various industries. 

Michelin’s long-term strategy is centered on sustainable growth, both within and beyond the tire industry, with digital technology as a crucial enabler of their vision. Salesforce is a key component to this strategy.

As Michelin’s Salesforce ecosystem grows, protecting business data becomes even more important. That’s why Michelin partnered with Odaseva to protect the 134-year-old company’s Salesforce data at scale.
