In March of 1945, V.L.
Carr & Son Pattern Co.
was started by Vernon Lester Carr in an old metal shop behind his house in Los Angeles, California.
Later that year, his son, Wendell Whittaker Carr, joined his father Vernon after returning from serving as a patternmaker in the Navy at the end of World War II.
In 1969, twenty-four years later, the business changed its name to Carr Pattern Co., which is its corporate name today.
Vernon Carr passed away in May of 1972, leaving his son Wendell with the family business.
Despite his father’s passing, the business made necessary adjustments and continued to press forward.
Today, Carr, as it is popularly known, is found in virtually every major warehouse across the United States and Canada, establishing itself as a company whose accessories place it among the major competitors in the industry.
With over 75 years of manufacturing excellence, Carr is a third-generation business that remains firmly committed to product innovation and design, hassle-free customer service, and offering the consumer various choices in steps, light bars, and other accessories.
