 In 1981
Kenneth Banks purchased International Muffler Company, housed in a small
facility with 35 employees manufacturing 600 mufflers per day.
Since then, the company has emerged as one of the leading manufacturers
of replacement automotive parts in North America. With team management
concentrating on manufacturing products of unsurpassed quality and customer
service, IMCO has grown tremendously and now encompasses a 254,000 square
foot facility and employs approximately 300 people.
The “Family Concept” is stressed throughout IMCO. This concept has helped strengthen
the foundation on which IMCO was built. There are many different
“teams” within the organization working hand-in-glove with each other to
research, design, manufacture, sell and ship IMCO product with pride!
Kenneth Banks has been quoted as saying "one of the main reasons for the
company's growth is the people...the most important aspect of hiring an
individual is not job knowledge - it is attitude". Come grow with us!
IMCO strives to develop amicable relationships with its customers ...
relationships based on the fact that IMCO wants to hear what
customers need in their business. The goals of this organization are to
provide exhaust products of superior quality, ensure unequaled customer service
and continue to offer products at competitive prices. |

IMCO has evolved from
a manufacturing facility housed in 62,000 square feet of space with 35
employees producing 600 mufflers per day to a facility expanding to more
than 254,000 square feet, employing nearly 300 people. It has become a
full-line supplier producing mufflers, glasspacks, straight tubing and
prebent as well as providing a line of converters, chrome and stainless
tips, hardware and accessory items.
IMCO not only
welcomes but also encourages customers to tour our facility to observe
first-hand the manufacturing of the exhaust products they use. Visitors
will find a very friendly, responsive attitude as they tour the various
production areas. Employees are considered a part of the "IMCO
family" which causes them to work as a team toward achieving
excellence in the industry.
IMCO's success in the
industry could well be related to the fact that IMCO wants to
hear what its customers need! IMCO products are designed not only to
promote quality but also to provide easier installation for the shop
operator.
IMCO is continually
moving forward in the industry with the installation of the most modern,
state-of-the-art equipment and implementing new designs for many of its
products. Owner Kenneth Banks quite often tells distributors and shop
operators visiting the manufacturing facility, "there will be more
here the next time you come, no matter how soon that might be"!
Truly IMCO is a company focused on growth, but not forgetting
that quality and customer service are first and foremost of importance.
Pride is an important factor in IMCO's success in the industry.
It is felt that the customer should be as proud to install IMCO
exhaust products, as we are to manufacture them. Our growth is evident
with expansions in every division…mufflers, straight tubing, prebent,
glasspacks as well as the chrome and stainless tips and hardware and
accessories.
