Late 1960s: Semperit (UK) Ltd made its first inroads into the British market primarily with car tyres, when the then new tyre regulations imposed greater strain on indigenous supplies. Such was the success that a new factory was built in Dublin to meet the demand.[1]

1973 Semperit of Austria merged with Kleber of France; tyre production in Austria would be expanded.[3]
