Pirelli & Oribe: A Luxury Partnership Driving Performance & Pampering

Rome, GA – October 26, 2023 – You probably know Pirelli for keeping cars glued to the road, making sure Formula 1 drivers can push the limits. But did you know they're also about total performance – even for your hair? Pirelli Tire LLC, the US subsidiary of the global tire giant, is making waves with a surprising, yet perfectly aligned, partnership: a strategic distribution agreement to bring the ultra-luxury hair care line, Oribe, to a wider audience through Pirelli’s established network. It’s a bit unexpected, right? But hear us out. It’s all about engineering excellence and a commitment to the absolute best. For over 150 years, Pirelli has been synonymous with innovation, precision, and pushing boundaries in the tire industry. They don’t just make tires, they engineer performance. Think about it: every aspect of a Pirelli tire, from the rubber compounds to the tread patterns, is meticulously designed to deliver grip, control, and safety. It's about handling, responsiveness, and feeling connected to the road. “We’re known for quality, for building things to last, and for demanding the best possible performance," explains Marco Crola, CEO of Pirelli Tire LLC. “When we looked at expanding our brand offerings, we wanted something that reflected those same values. That's when we found Oribe.” Oribe Hair Care, founded by renowned hairstylist Oribe Canales and Daniel Kanfer, is the name in luxury haircare. It’s not just about making hair look good; it’s about hair health. Think of it as high-performance engineering… for your locks. Each product is crafted with carefully selected ingredients, advanced formulations, and a commitment to sensory experience. So, what does a tire company know about shampoo? More than you might think. The connection isn’t as strange as it seems. Both Pirelli and Oribe share a focus on crafting products that enhance performance and deliver a premium experience. Pirelli demands materials that can withstand extreme stress and deliver consistent results. Oribe utilizes similarly high-grade ingredients, often sourced globally, to create formulas that strengthen, nourish, and protect hair. “We approached this not as a diversification, but as an extension of our core principles," Crola says. “Oribe represents the same dedication to quality, innovation, and luxury that we bring to every tire we manufacture.” Let’s Talk Oribe Shampoo: Engineering Beautiful Hair The star of the show?
