Owens Products, Inc.

Owens Products, Inc. is a well-established company with a rich history dating back to 1965. Initially focused on manufacturing fifth wheel hitches and recreational trailers, the business has since transitioned to specialize in automotive accessories. Their product lines include plastic, fiberglass, and aluminum running boards, aluminum tool boxes, dog boxes, garage and trailer accessories, as well as custom-made products. A significant milestone for the company was the design and sale of the first aluminum running board in 1977, which revolutionized the fifth wheel customer experience. The company's commitment to quality is underscored by the fact that all Owens products are proudly made in the USA. In 1989, Owens refocused its efforts by divesting the fifth wheel hitch and trailer manufacturing plant, consolidating its business around automotive accessories. The company's continuity as a family-owned and operated business was secured when Gary Kirtley, son-in-law to the late Dennis Baker, acquired Owens Products in November 2007. This acquisition ensured the company's legacy and culture would endure. With its strong position in the automotive aftermarket, Owens Products, Inc. presents an interesting opportunity for investors looking to tap into the manufacturing and automotive industries.
