Our Energy makes yours cleaner and safer…..
IMPCO Technologies is a subsidiary of EControls based in San Antonio (TX), USA.
In business for over 70 years, IMPCO is the world-market leader in the field of dedicateted gaseous fuel systems for a wide range of industrial applications.
The company started in 1952 as Technisch Bureau Media. Acquired by EControls in 2017, together we combine extensive product design experience with advanced software and electronic expertise.
We are the global suplier of material-handling engine control systems and work with Europe’s most prominent forklift truck OEMs.
Based on the year-long experience with material handling equipment, IMPCO has developed a range of electronic products that enable fleet managers to improve safety on the work floor and reduce total cost of ownership. Key products such as OptaFleet Fleet Management, Pedestrian Safety Systems and Speed Limiters have shown their value in many projects.
IMPCO, an acronym from its original name, was founded in 1958 by Herbert V. Hills and Richard Baverstock in a small Quonset hut in South Gate, California. The company was born out of the need for faster and more energy efficient cars and speed boats in racing. The first product developed and sold was the CA300A carburetor, known as the IMPERIAL, which is still sold today.
The company moved to Cerritos in 1967 and became a wholly owned subsidiary of AJ Industries (Alaska Juneau Mining Company). In 1989, IMPCO became a publicly traded company. Traded as IMCO, it allowed the reinvestment of profits to expand the business. This expansion included the purchase of BEAM Products Company in 1986, Garretson Equipment Company in 1997, and J & S Products and Algas Carburetion in 1998, enabling IMPCO to broaden its engine range capabilities. Along the way, IMPCO also purchased several of its distributors, including Technisch Bureau Media in The Netherlands, Ateco PTY in Australia, and an additional facility in Japan, becoming global affiliate locations.
In 2006, IMPCO moved to a new state-of-the-art facility in Santa Ana, California, expanding its engineering and manufacturing capabilities. Three years later, IMPCO acquired GFI Controls Systems for its fuel-injected industrial fuel systems and its line of CNG and Hydrogen high pressure components.
In May of 2017, EControls acquired IMPCO’s industrial division which included the Santa Ana facility, as well as entities and facilities in The Netherlands, France, Germany, Japan, and South Korea combining to become the pre-eminent systems provider in the industrial and heavy duty markets. IMPCO’s manufacturing was moved to EControls headquarters in San Antonio, Texas.
