SUTRAK was formed during the mid-1970s, when two college friends and entrepreneurs recognized a worldwide need to provide comfort to passengers on public transportation systems. Together, they pioneered the roof-mounted air comfort system for the transportation industry, and have since made it an international standard. In 1981, SUTRAK expanded into untapped frontiers with the construction of a major manufacturing facility in the United States. By the mid 1990's, SUTRAK had grown to two world headquarters in Germany and in the United States overseeing 17 international divisions. The company achieved international recognition for its design, technology and its worldwide distribution and service network. In 1996, SUTRAK USA became an independently US owned and operated company when it sold its international holdings to United Technologies and retained rights to North America. Today, SUTRAK Corporation is one of the three leading international manufacturers of air comfort systems for mass transportation vehicles. The United States operation has produced over 25,000 air comfort systems that are operating in transit vehicles all over the North American continent. Corporate and sales headquarters are in Denver and the primary manufacturing facility is in Lamar, Colorado. We continue to focus on creating new and innovative designs that provide optimal cooling, fit and appearance, as well as meeting the evolving needs of our customers. In an environmentally conscious world in which mass transportation plays an increasing role, SUTRAK Corporation has developed climate comfort systems that meet the requirements of diverse transit authorities, bus and light rail manufacturers, as well as consumers.
