Rivian Corporate Office

Rivian was founded in 2009 by MIT graduate and CEO Robert Scaringe. Originally named Avera, the name was changed shortly after to Rivian. The company began focusing on autonomous, electric vehicles in 2011.

The company relocated to Liviona, Michigan, to be closer to suppliers. Rivian began working exclusively on electric, autonomous vehicles.

In 2016, it was rumored that the company was considering purchasing a manufacturing plant previously owned by Mitsubishi in Illinois. In 2017, Rivian did purchase both the plant and the contents for $16 million. This plant in Normal, Illinois, has become Rivian’s primary North American manufacturing facility.

In February 2019, Amazon announced that it was investing in the company for delivery vans, as well as Ford Motor Company, which invested $500 million.

4 Wheel Parts Corporate Office

George Adler and his father in law, began a very small business in 1961, selling 4 wheel drive parts, mainly for Jeep customers, out of his house. Their $5,000 investment paid off when they were able to open two brick and mortar locations in 1976, along with selling parts from a mail-order catalog.

George Adler’s son, Greg, now works as CEO.

By 1982, the company had 5 retail locations. In 1988, the company expanded vertically by manufacturing some of its own parts, under the brand name Pro Comp. The Pro Comp name is now one of the biggest selling brands of 4 wheel drive components.

In 1999, the company again made inroads by becoming one of the first 4 wheel drive parts companies to offer items using an online site.

In 2016, Polaris, Inc., acquired 4 Wheel Parts for an estimated $665 million.

In January 2020, a group of Utah doctors sued the company, stating that 4 Wheel Parts was working against the Clean Air Act by selling “defeat devices” which rendered air pollution controls on vehicles useless.

4 Wheel Parts still maintains its corporate office in Compton, California.

Car Keys Express Corporate Office

Car Keys Express was founded by Mark Lanwehr in 2002. Looking for a way to quickly pay off his student loans, Lanwehr began selling used automotive key remotes from his dining room table. No one in his family nor his friends thought he would sell very many, let alone enough to make a dent in his student loans.

While selling the remotes, he began to create a database about every car manufacturer and model. He credits that database with his success. Today, Car Keys Express is the world’s largest manufacturer, distribution and seller of replacement keys, keyless remotes, and related technologies.

car keys express ad The company operates 3 divisions; iKeyless.com, Solid Keys USA, and Car Keys Express. Operating in 42 states, this is the only national discount mobile key vendor.

In 2015, Lanwehr introduced the world’s first universal car keys at APEX, which was named the best new product that year.

The company has been named on the Inc. 5000 list as one of the fastest growing companies for the past 3 consecutive years. 

Company headquarters remains in Louisville, Kentucky.
