Kinedyne LLC, designer, manufacturer and distributor of cargo control technologies, has celebrated its 50th-anniversary.

Founded by Jim Klausmann in 1968, the original business entity was called Kinedyne Corporation, the name “Kinedyne” being derived from the words “kinetics” and “dynamics.”

Part of Kinedyne’s celebration included the release of a new commemorative logo and video, with a new website to be unveiled in 2019. The 50th-anniversary video examines the company’s history decade by decade, highlighting important milestones along the way.

“As Kinedyne North America reaches this momentous 50-year milestone in our corporate history, we pause and reflect on our five decades of accomplishments and service to the commercial vehicle industry and government,” Dan Schlotterbeck, president of Kinedyne LLC, said. “As our remarkable history demonstrates, Kinedyne always has been and remains committed and uniquely qualified to provide innovative solutions to the industry that meet whatever challenges we will face together in the next 50 years.”
