Goodyear NA in the Black?

Goodyear North American Tire division president, Jon Rich, said his unit’s 2004 financial results would show its first annual profit in three years, according to a Tire Review report. Mr Rich made his comments at the company’s annual dealer meeting in Dallas. Aggressive cost cutting and high sales of Goodyear’s Assurance passenger tyre line led to the improvements in both sales and profits, he explained.
