IT ALL BEGAN IN
A 4-CAR GENERAL REPAIR SHOP IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA...
TODAY, THE NAME "EDELBROCK" IS KNOWN AROUND
THE WORLD FOR HIGH-QUALITY PERFORMANCE AUTOMOTIVE
COMPONENTS
Vic Edelbrock Sr. was born in a small farming community
near Wichita, Kansas in 1913. His father supported
the family comfortably as the owner of the local grocery
store. When the Edelbrock grocery store burned down
in 1927, Vic left school at age 14 to work and help
support the family. He had a natural talent for mechanics.
His first job was at an auto repair shop where he
developed his skills as an auto mechanic.
EDELBROCK
TODAY
The Edelbrock Corporation now has over 600 employees
and, since October 1994, has been a publicly traded
company listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange (symbol:
EDEL). Five locations, four in Torrance and the Foundry
in San Jacinto, California, make up the Corporate
facilities for a total of over 400,000 square feet.
The main offices include: engineering and testing;
manufacturing; sales; tech support; warehouse; print
shop; advertising and accounting.
Russell Performance Products
became part of the Edelbrock family early in 2001.
They were moved to the shock facility in the Spring
and we are pleased to welcome the Russell employees
to "The Fun Team".
FOR 65 YEARS...
"Proven Performance" is the philosophy that
began with Vic Sr. in 1938 and it continues today
with the same high standards of performance and quality.
Vic Sr. would be proud of what has grown out of his
small garage in Los Angeles.
When we say "proven" at Edelbrock we mean
it. Many hours of research, design and testing go
into each Edelbrock product before it goes to market.
Through teamwork, good equipment and dedication, Edelbrock
designs and manufactures products that deliver maximum
performance
