We come from nearly two decades of experience, excellence, and uncompromised dedication to building value, relationships and a track record of proven success. And it all begins with our founder Vinnie Johnson. Since 1995, Piston Group has evolved from a small-corrugated pallet manufacturer into one of America’s leading Value Added Assembly companies. Today we tackle some of the automotive industry’s most complex, challenging projects, including advanced electric and hybrid vehicle battery systems. And while we are proud of our history, we have never lived in the past. Our eye is constantly on the future. That is why we’re still growing, still building, and still working hard every day to be better than the day before.
Irvin Products is a full-service supplier of automotive products. Founder Leslie Leroy Irvin was an inventive man with great vision. He made aviation history as the first-ever free-fall parachute jumper-with a parachute he invented and made himself in 1919. The first fall was from over 1500′ over McCook Field in Ohio, USA. He used a 28′ Flat Circular canopy in a 4Pin Container.That single ambitious jump brought orders for more chutes, giving his aviation manufacturing company, Irvin Air Chute Company, its beginning. The Irvin parachute gained rapid acceptance, and by the early 1930’s was in service with some 40 air forces around the world. In 1922 Irvin started a club called the “Caterpillar Club”. To become a member, your life must have been saved by a parachute (not a club many try to get into). He selected the name Caterpillar Club in homage to the silk threads that made the original parachutes and the fact that the caterpillar lets itself down to earth by a silken thread. “Life depends on a silken thread,” is the club’s motto.
