Founded in 1966 by Takaaki Murata, the inventor of the car seat headrest, Car Mate is today the largest manufacturer of automotive accessories in Japan. The company’s car rack division was launched in 1976. Today INNO has almost a 60% share of the Japanese car rack market, with our own manufacturing facilities in Japan, China and facilities in the USA to keep up with the growing demand.
Inno car racks first appeared on the U.S. market in 2003. Our racks quickly caught on in the States and we are considered an ideal match for the nation’s growing legions of active “weekend warriors” and professional athletes who demand technological superiority.
INNO insures that the products go through vigorous and meticulous tests to make sure the racks can protect the cargo and vehicle through extreme weather conditions. From the extensive tests of our UV-rays and salt spray testing booths to the real-world high speed
assessments from the race track designed for automotive manufacturers, we make sure to prioritize our
cutomer’s safety and trust in our equipment.
