Firestone Natural Rubber Company has invested more than $135 million into the effort to rebuild homes, schools, health care facilities and other infrastructure, as well as to replant rubber trees.
Firestone Natural Rubber Company workers receive a variety of benefits for themselves and their families; including, free housing, free medical care, free education for their children, subsidized food, paid vacation and a pension upon retirement.
More than 99% of Firestone Natural Rubber Company's 8,000 workers and managers are Liberian nationals.
Since 1926, Firestone Natural Rubber Company has worked with the people of Liberia to create a thriving natural rubber industry and to provide critical — and, in many cases, otherwise unavailable — social services to its Liberian teammates and their families. After more than 80 years of investment, the Firestone Natural Rubber Company location — covering almost 200 square miles — is the largest single natural rubber operation in the world.
