Dayco, the global original equipment and aftermarket automotive component supplier, recently celebrated the 110th anniversary of its founding in Dayton, Ohio.

 
Under its original name of the Dayton Rubber Manufacturing Company, Dayco opened for business on May 17, 1905. The operation started manufacturing garden hose and canning jar rubber-sealing rings, but has since gone on to be a global force in the automotive sector.
 
"During the past 110 years, Dayco established its place in the industry by engineering innovative products, such as the Airless Tyre, the first raw-edge v-belt, the first synthetic rubber tyre, the first multi-ribbed ‘serpentine’ belt and the first automatic serpentine belt tensioner, among other products,” said John Bohenick, Chief Executive Officer for Dayco. "Dayco has continued to create excitement in the markets we serve and deliver value to our customers with innovative systems, products and services while expanding our identity, our product offerings and our customer base to become a highly-respected, worldwide manufacturer for the original equipment and replacement markets.”
 
Today, Dayco is a global manufacturer of engine timing belt drive, accessory belt drive and continuously variable transmission products, systems and solutions. During the past five years, Dayco has expanded its business by opening manufacturing and distribution facilities in Asia, and by completing strategic acquisitions which resulted in the addition of new products, as well as enhanced manufacturing, engineering and distribution capabilities.
