 PROFILE
This rolling (Bridge) stone gathers no moss. Bridgestone, one of the world's largest tire makers, produces tires for automobiles, large trucks, heavy equipment, and aircraft. About 20% of its sales come from non-tire products such as building materials (roof tiles), sporting goods (golf balls), industrial rubber products (conveyor belts and automotive hoses), and marine components (oil booms and fish-breeding reservoirs). Bridgestone is trying to recover from a massive tire recall -- primarily involving Ford Explorers -- and faces litigation over related vehicle accidents. Finger-pointing over the blame ended the company's 95-year relationship with Ford, which accounted for about 2% of sales.
