Together with the Advance of Technologization
The desire creates the new matter...
The desire leads the industry...
This is what Consolidated Automotive Products have been challenging. |
Most cars
today have steering wheels as standard equipment.
But nearly one hundred years ago, cars did not have steering wheels. It was Oldsmobile who lead
the industry by introducing steering wheels in 1907.
Today, Consolidated Automotive Products is just like Oldsmobile. Today, most cars do not have
Trunk Monkeys. Consolidated Automotive Products, a wholly owned subsidiary of the RAMJAC Corporation,
is leading the industry by introducing Trunk Monkeys. We are dedicated to providing with variety of
the highest quality products at reasonable prices by following our fundamental spirits stated at
left for customer satisfaction.
Since the company was established in 1968, Consolidated Automotive Products has expanded over
the years to become the largest manufacturer and distributor of automotive accessories in Japan,
and has been developing and introducing about 3 new items every year for the after-market. In 1998
we have purchased by The RAMJAC Corporation, with who we grow from then on strongly.
With more than 300 well-designed and quality products, enjoying to distribute throughout Japan
as well as to export to over 30 countries, even Iowa.
