History

Auto Technology Company’s roots started in the 1940s under the Crown Equipment Company name. In 1965, Crown was purchased by Harshaw Chemical Company. During the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, there were mergers with multiple companies, including GS Equipment, Gulf Oil, Kaiser Aluminum, Englehard, Atochem, and Atotech.

In 2000, the company was purchased by internal management along with an investment group and became Auto Technology Company.

In 2009, Auto Technology created an in-house contract test laboratory. This lab is A2LA accredited to the ISO guide 17025. Our capabilities include all corrosion testing, environmental testing with hot and cold cycling as well as immersion, SO2, UV, and more.
