Remy International
Remy International, Inc. (formerly Delco Remy) headquartered in Pendleton, Indiana is an American manufacturer, remanufacturer, and distributor of light duty starters, alternators, hybrid power technology, and Delco Remy brand heavy duty systems. Remy has facilities in eleven countries (such as Belgium, Germany, Hungary, United Kingdom, USA, Canada, Mexico and Tunisia) and four different continents around the world.
Remy International had its beginnings in 1896 when Frank and Perry Remy Nates opened a home wiring business in Anderson, Indiana. In 1901 the Remy Electric Company was incorporated. Perry Remy had conducted experiments with magnetos and by 1910 the company was producing 50,000 magnetos a year. The magnetos were made for a number of early cars, which included Buick.
To prove the dependability of their product, the Remy brothers sent two men on a 6,000-mile (9,700 km) journey in 1909. They drove a Remy-equipped Buick Four on a ten-week trip from the hills of Kentucky to the swamps of Florida.
The Remy brothers sold their firm to Stoughton Fletcher Jr. and the Fletcher Savings and Trust in 1911 for a reputed one million dollars. Fletcher expanded the product line to include cranking motors, generators, and distributors.
Remy's competition was Dayton Engineering Laboratories Company (Delco) under the leadership of Charles F. Kettering, who - along with Clyde Coleman - invented the electric starter motor for vehicles in 1911. Kettering also manufactured ignition equipment and generators.
The United States Motor Company purchased the two competitors in 1916 and incorporated them into their operations. The companies remained separated until purchased by General Motors two years later. It became the company's second largest parts-manufacturing center outside of Michigan.
In 1918, Delco Remy began operating as a division of General Motors, developing advanced technologies and providing the industry with automotive, heavy duty and military products. A successful General Motors division for more than 75 years, Delco Remy became its own entity in 1994 when a group of private investors bought the heavy duty and automotive divisions.
Delco Remy changed its name to Remy International on August 1, 2004. The company continued to use the Delco Remy brand for some products under license from General Motors.
