“The trademark license agreement between Mitas and Continental is valid till the year 2019,” Mitas CEO Jaroslav Cechura said. “Continental-branded tires are an important part of our portfolio. Mitas produces them at three factories in the Czech Republic,” added Cechura.

“We can confirm that Mitas has exercised its option under the trademark license agreement signed in 2004 to continue producing Continental agricultural tires under license and that this cooperation will continue until the year 2019,” added Florian Schleifer from Continental’s corporate trademark department.
