Who Is the Michelin Man?

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.

The Michelin Man’s First Look

Though unusual, these depictions cemented him as a recognizable figure in European advertising.

This classical motto tied Michelin branding to culture and sophistication, helping the mascot appeal beyond car enthusiasts.

From Mummy-Like Figure to Slim Icon

Over the decades, Bibendum’s design slimmed down, reflecting changes in tire technology and modern aesthetics.

His adaptability is why the figure has lasted over 130 years.

The Michelin Man and Food Culture

Today, when people hear "Michelin," they think of both performance on the road and excellence on the plate.

In 2025, the Michelin Guide continues to expand across the Middle East and Asia, with Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Tokyo adding new starred restaurants.

The Michelin Man’s Relevance Today

His mix of history, humor, and adaptability ensures he connects with new audiences.

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

He bridges industries, from automobiles to haute cuisine, and carries a global presence few mascots can match.

As long as Michelin tires keep rolling and Michelin Man symbol stars keep shining, Bibendum will remain part of the story.
