Tyre production defined Otrokovice for most of the 20th century. Baťa built a rubber factory here in the 1930s as part of the Zlín-based shoe empire's expansion into new materials, and the plant eventually became Continental Barum, now one of Europe's largest tyre manufacturing facilities. The factory complex and workers' housing estates from the interwar period remain central to the town's layout.
