Kinedyne LLC, a designer, manufacturer and distributor of cargo control technologies for the transportation industry, is celebrating its 50th anniversary.
“As Kinedyne North America reaches this momentous 50-year milestone in our corporate history, we pause and reflect on our five decades of accomplishments and service to the commercial vehicle industry and government,” said Dan Schlotterbeck, president of Kinedyne. “As our remarkable history demonstrates, Kinedyne always has been and remains committed and uniquely qualified to provide innovative solutions to the industry that meet whatever challenges we will face together in the next 50 years.”
Part of Kinedyne’s celebration included the release of a new commemorative logo and video, with a new website to be unveiled in 2019. The 50th-anniversary video examines the company’s history decade by decade, highlighting milestones along the way. The new video is now available on Kinedyne’s YouTube channel and on the company’s website. Special 50th-anniversary observances have been held at all corporate locations and at Kinedyne’s annual sales and operations management conference in Nashville TN.
Founded by Jim Klausmann in 1968, the original business entity was called Kinedyne Corporation, the name “Kinedyne” being derived from the words “kinetics” and “dynamics.” The fledgling company swiftly built a reputation for quality and service, gaining attention and creating a following within the North American trucking industry. With time also came the establishment of international affiliates that today include Kinedyne Canada Limited in Canada, Sistemas Kinedyne SA de CV in Mexico and Nantong Kinedyne Limited in China.
Since its founding, Kinedyne has steadily broadened its original focus on cargo securement. In the mid-1990s, the company expanded its offering to include specialized cargo capacity products with the introduction of its Kaptive Beam Double Decking System that allows trailers to double their volume.
In 2016, Kinedyne introduced its new Kin-Slider and Kin-Sider curtain-side cargo access systems. In 2017, the company debuted the first load-rated curtain-side access system in North America, as well as a new aerial access sliding roof system.
Kinedyne’s line of cargo control, capacity and access products can be purchased through its distribution network, which includes thousands of outlets across North America. Users can find distributor locations by calling Kinedyne’s customer service department at 800-848-6057 in the United States, 800-268-3530 in Canada and 011-5255-53184844 in Mexico.
