Continental donates to tsunami relief effort

Jan. 3, 2005

Continental AG is contributing $500,000 to the tsunami relief effort in Asia.

The Hanover, Germany-based company is working with aid organizations to determine if a portion of the amount should be donated in the form of material resources.

"One possibility would be to provide portable fuel tanks made by Continental," say Continental officials.

"Tires for off-road vehicles or trucks could also be contributed."

Continental also is asking its employees to contribute.
