Banloc-Goodrich Building

In the late 1930s, the world’s oldest tire manufacturing trust, founded in 1870 by Dr. Benjamin Franklin Goodrich, entered into an important partnership with Elisabeta, Princess of Romania and former Queen of Greece, to establish a tire factory in Romania. This partnership led to the development of the successful Banloc-Goodrich industrial unit, which played a key role in training Romanian specialists in tire production. In 1938, to support the growth of the factory, architect Octav Doicescu designed a complex of buildings for offices, workshops, and workers’ housing.
