Over 90 Years of Service
These products trace
their origins to 1912, when Fred S. Carr founded the Carr Fastener
Company in Cambridge, Mass. A carriage maker by trade, he developed
a concept for making fasteners that attached canvas to his
carriages. Know as "Dot" fasteners, these early components were
widely used for both horse drawn and horseless carriages.
In 1929, the Carr
Fastener Company merged with a competitor to become
United-Carr and shortly thereafter the success of United-Carr was
assured when the company developed a teenut for Fisher Body. This
simple component enabled sheet metal to be effectively fastened to
the newly fabricated metal frames that were beginning to replace
wood throughout the automtive industry.
Today, Johnson &
Hoffman carries on the tradition of creative engineering solutions
that has always been the hallmark of the company. |
