ROUSH HISTORY

Roush celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2001. What began in 1976 as Jack Roush Performance Engineering is now recognized internationally as a premier provider of automotive product development and systems integration solutions, with over 2,000 employees in facilities across the globe.

Roush has grown significantly over the years in direct response to our customers’ needs. Recognizing that integrated services provide tremendous efficiency and synergy, we have strategically acquired skills and expertise in areas such as advanced composites, body design and engineering, paint and trim services, fabrication and instrumentation. This focus has resulted in Roush’s unparalleled ability to lend support across the entire product development life cycle.

Several key acquisitions have rounded out our product and service offerings. Our acquisition of NVH Services, with their extensive experience in the field of mechanical noise and vibration analysis, has provided a critical component in Roush’s portfolio of comprehensive engineering services.

In 1997, Roush acquired Detroit Art Services, which for many years supplied the leading automotive manufacturers with advanced technical publication services. This acquisition has enabled Roush to provide our customers vital communication services, ranging from print and video materials to web-based projects, technical documentation, graphic services and promotional materials.

In 1999 Roush entered a joint venture with Uniboring to form Performance Assembly Solutions (PAS). Through PAS, we have the ability to offer our customers seamlessly integrated engine development services, taking an engine from concept to assembly.

Our acquisition of Crucam in 1999 added significant rapid prototyping, machining and manufacturing tools to our broad range of service offerings. This division, now Roush Manufacturing, offers advanced technologies and state-of-the-art equipment in our Livonia-based Manufacturing Center.

Roush Performance, established in 1995, has been an exciting by-product of our focus on acquiring the technical expertise and resources needed to effectively serve our customers’ needs. Roush Performance Products’ line of Roush-designed, engineered and manufactured niche vehicles and vehicle component packages offers consumers the perfect blend of Roush’s 25 years of technological expertise and our innate passion for performance. In 2001, RPP launched the Roush Stage 3 Mustang, recognized by critics as a finely engineered performance vehicle that is just plain fun to drive. The Roush Performance line of products is generating excitement in over 225 dealerships around the country.

Through strategic planning and acquisition, commitment and hard work, Roush has developed an unparalleled reputation for technical expertise, quality and value. Our focus on providing seamlessly integrated services and streamlining the product development process has accelerated our customers’ critical product-to-market timing objectives – a vital advantage in today’s competitive market.

Our success remains deeply rooted in the core values that are unique to Roush: reliance upon the talent of the individual, a disciplined work ethic, scrupulous attention to detail, and an acutely intense desire to be the best. We continue to seek innovative methods of providing our customers effective services and solutions.
