In March of 1945, Vernon Lester Carr started V.L. Carr & Son Pattern Co. in an old metal shop behind his house in Los Angeles, California. His son, Wendell Whittaker Carr, joined his father Vernon later that year at the end of World War II after his return from serving as a patternmaker in the Navy. Twenty four years later in 1969 the business changed its name to Carr Pattern Co., its corporate name today. In May of 1972 Vernon Carr passed away, leaving his son Wendell with the family business. Notwithstanding his father’s passing, the business made the necessary adjustments and continued to press forward. Today, Carr, as it is popularly known, is in virtually every major warehouse across the United States and Canada, and has established 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, who 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.
