The Origins of Michelin’s Famous Mascot
Bibendum — better recognised as the Michelin Man — is a symbol of trust, safety, and innovation in mobility.
Created by the Michelin tire company in France, Bibendum was originally drawn as a towering figure made entirely of stacked tires.
Strange Beginnings of Bibendum
The first sketches showed Bibendum holding a goblet filled with nails, glass, and stones — a bold way of saying Michelin tires could "drink up" road hazards.
It also gave the mascot a unique personality beyond simply being a tire figure.
How the Michelin Man Changed With Time
Over the decades, Bibendum’s design slimmed down, reflecting changes in tire technology and modern aesthetics.
He regularly appears at auto shows, motorsport events, and promotional campaigns, often interacting directly with audiences.
From Tires to Fine Dining
This unexpected crossover — from car tires to fine dining — has made the Michelin Man part of global lifestyle culture.
Although the Michelin Man doesn’t appear at every ceremony, his image is still used in promotions and branding.
Why Bibendum Still Matters in 2025
His mix of history, humor, and adaptability ensures he connects with new audiences.
For the Michelin Group, Bibendum represents more than branding.
The Legacy of the Michelin Man
In 2025, he continues to inspire trust, laughter, and recognition in equal measure.
As long as Michelin tires keep rolling and Michelin stars keep shining, Bibendum will remain part of the story.
