In the 1900s, Hutchinson diversified its operations from tire manufacturing and began producing coated canvases for aircraft and airships.

In addition to being one of the world's largest players in the rubber market, Hutchinson is also present in the automotive, aerospace, railway, industrial, defense, energy and cycling sectors.

[5] Hutchinson provides automotive seals,[6][7] fluid transfer systems, and vibration control technologies that reduce noise and improve comfort.

[8] In the aerospace industry, Hutchinson provides engine systems, ducting and other components that improve aircraft performance and safety.

Hutchinson serves the industrial, energy and transportation markets with elastomers for a wide range of applications.

[28] The company participates in European Commission funded research initiatives such as Clean Sky, the goal of which is to reduce the impact of air travel on the environment.

Hutchinson is the coordinator of two Clean Sky 2 projects focusing on air treatment and temperature control in aircraft.

In January, Hutchinson announced the acquisition of an American parts manufacturer called Midé Technology.

[39] “TCSA is now a joint venture between the two companies, dedicated to thermal management and cooling systems for vehicles, particularly EV and HEV and integrated in Hutchinson’s FMS (Fluid Management Systems) activity.” [40] Later that month, Hutchinson announced its acquisition of German aerospace company, PFW.
