United States. The high-quality automotive parts company is commemorating its 70th anniversary.
Originally founded as Conti Rubber Products in 1954, CRP initially focused on selling tires to VW of America in partnership with the German company Continental. Since then, CRP Industries has experienced continuous and diverse growth in the ensuing decades with expansion into automotive spare parts and technical fluids, high-pressure thermoplastic hoses, high-speed electric motors, and a growing automotive remanufacturing business.
"This company has gone through a great deal of change, overcome numerous challenges, and provided exceptional service to our customers for seven decades. None of this would be possible without employees who strive to make an impact every day. I look forward to continued growth and success in the years to come, while continuing the legacy of CRP Industries," said Daniel Schildge, third-generation CEO.
Today, CRP Industries has a team of more than 150 highly trained employees operating facilities in Cranbury, New Jersey, Conway, South Carolina, Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Puebla, Mexico. CRP Industries will celebrate this anniversary with company-wide events throughout 2024, along with the special 70th anniversary brand unveiling at the 2024 AAPEX show in Las Vegas, Nevada.
