Kraco Products
Kraco Products was a Custom Accessory manufacturer of Los Angeles, California that produced and sold products such as the Snap-On white walls and the Continental Twin Floor Mats.[1]Kraco Enterprises were founded in Compton, California in 1954. Their first products were the "Snap-On" white walls which allowed the car enthusiast of the day to convert their black wall tires to the then more desirable white walls easily and economically. As business expanded, Kraco entered into the production of rubber, vinyl and soon thereafter, carpet floormats.
The following years saw the development of new mat designs and applications. Marketing, merchandising and manufacturing methods were perfected, and Kraco continued to grow. Throughout the eighties and nineties, Team Kraco was actively involved in Indy car racing, winning the highly prestigious Indianapolis 500 in 1992. During this time the importance of quality and durability were illustrated over and again, reaffirming their importance as primary components in every floormat produced. With entrepreneurial spirit and vision Kraco has become one of the largest manufacturing operations in the automotive aftermarket. Their facility covers over 500,000 square feet, with over three million cubic feet of palletized top quality floormats ready to ship.[2]
