March 8, 2016—Altra Products Supply Inc, a Car-O-Liner Distributor, just celebrated its 30th anniversary as a business. Altra opened on March 1, 1986 in Wayland, Mich., by owner Richard Post. 

“I opened Altra because I wanted to help people,” Post said. “This is a very technical industry, and we wanted people out in the field to know the right ways to correct damaged vehicles.”

Altra’s 10,000-square-foot facility provides products such as Car-O-Liner measuring, welding and holding products, Garmat USA paint booths and booth products and Col-Met powder coat booths and ovens. 

Altra began selling Car-O-Liner products in 2011, and Post said sales have taken off locally.

“Our employees here are second to none. They work very hard to take care of the customer and to make sure things are right for them,” Post said. “I couldn’t do it alone. I am very pleased to have these top notch people to do what we have done for the past 30 years. They have helped establish an honorable relationship with our customers. We’re looking forward to the next 30 years!”
