Our Story

Started with a Repair

Founded in 2001, Equip is a technician-owned company built on a passion for repair excellence and a commitment to staying ahead in a rapidly changing automotive industry. As vehicle technology advanced and new materials emerged, a new market began to take shape—and Equip was ready to meet it. With hands-on experience at its core, Equip partnered directly with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to help develop repair procedures and technologies capable of handling the demands of modern repairs. Today, we continue to lead with innovation, delivering safe, OE-compliant repairs without compromising quality, performance, or integrity.

At Equip, quality is not just a standard—it’s a promise. It begins with sourcing only the finest materials and continues through every stage of craftsmanship. Whether it’s advanced coatings applied to our drill bits and saw blades for long-lasting performance, premium American-sourced zinc and copper for superior corrosion protection, or precision equipment manufactured to the highest EU standards, we ensure every product meets the demands of serious professionals. When you choose Equip, you're choosing reliability, durability, and performance you can trust.
