ARP

The advent of the ARP company is a result of the fact that racing enthusiast Gary Holzapfel recognized the need for better fasteners when he saw that a preponderance of broken engines was caused by fastener failure. In 1968 there were no commercially available studs and bolts that were able to meet this challenge and so he drew upon the expertise of a leading aerospace subcontractor and founded ARP® (Automotive Racing Products).

Quality control is of utmost importance to the team at ARP because they recognize that only by this avenue can they maintain their reputation for unbeatable products with “zero defects” and they achieve this by controlling all aspects of their manufacturing process. Because their operations are conducted in-house ARP is able to oversee all aspects of production and ARP also recognizes that the production of specialty fasteners of superior quality could not be accomplished without the help of enthusiastic and exceptionally qualified professionals consequently they employ the best.

Automotive Racing Products does not support the delusion that “Aerospace” material is the best and in fact they think that this is not nearly good enough and have in fact proven this by the quality of their materials. ARP parts and fasteners are manufactured in-house for everything from heading through machining, grinding, heat-treat, thread rolling, and shot-peening to black oxide treatment and they perform every operation in house on their own equipment affording them the opportunity to create the superior product you deserve with their experienced and committed employees.
