Who Is the Michelin Man?

Bibendum — better recognised as the Michelin Man — is a symbol of trust, safety, and innovation in mobility.

His unusual look made him stand out at trade fairs and in early print advertisements.

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.

Evolution Over the Decades

In 1998, for his 100th birthday, he underwent a redesign to appear healthier, friendlier, and less bulky.

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.

The Michelin Man’s Relevance Today

From print posters to virtual campaigns, he has evolved without losing his identity.

He reflects values of reliability, durability, and quality — qualities Michelin wants drivers and diners alike to associate with its name.

The Legacy of the Michelin Man

After more than 130 years, the Michelin Man remains a unique cultural icon.

The mascot has proven timeless — adaptable, resilient, and unforgettable.
