The Dominion Tire Plant, later known as the Uniroyal Tire Plant then the Uniroyal-Goodrich Tire Plant and today known as AirBoss Rubber Compounding is a rubber and tire company located on Glasgow Street in Kitchener, Ontario. It is the largest independent rubber mixing plant in North America.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Images of Kitchener Facility )〕 ==History== In 1912 the Town of Berlin was officially designated a city, and in 1916 became known as Kitchener, named after Earl Kitchener. City Councillors and business leaders began an intense campaign to bring large, industrial companies to the new city and to invest new capital in the area. By 1913, the campaign had resulted in three new factories, which would become cornerstones to Kitchener’s economic development and which are still in existence today:〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kitchener Timeline: 1911 to 1919 )〕 # The Dominion Tire Company; # The Williams, Green and Rome Shirt and Collar Company (later the Arrow Shirt Factory) on Benton Street; and # The Buffalo Forge Company (later Canadian Blower and Forge) on Highland Road. Kitchener would win the bid of the Canadian Consolidated Rubber Co. (CCR) to build their tire plant there, even though larger and more developed cities had also placed bids: (Montreal, Hamilton, Guelph, London and Windsor).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Images of the Dominion Tire Plant )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dominion Tire Plant」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
