Grote Industries: Leading the Way in Vehicle Lighting and Safety Systems

3626_Grote.png

For over a century, Grote Industries has been a trusted name in the world of vehicle lighting and safety systems. Founded as a family-owned business more than 100 years ago, Grote has grown into an industry leader with manufacturing facilities across North America and beyond. Known for its high-quality products, innovative technology, and commitment to safety, Grote continues to push the boundaries of vehicle lighting design, helping to make roads safer and smarter.

A Legacy of Excellence

Grote Industries is a pioneer in the vehicle lighting industry. It was the first heavy-duty truck lighting supplier to receive TS16949 certification, a significant quality certification for the automotive industry. The company’s commitment to excellence is reflected in its manufacturing operations, which span North America, including key facilities in Madison, Indiana; Waterloo, Ontario; Monterrey, Mexico; and even international locations in Germany and China. 

Despite its global reach, Grote remains firmly rooted in its family-owned values. In 2022, the Grote family - led by fourth-generation members Dominic, John, and Mike Grote - acquired full control of the company, ensuring that its legacy of innovation and quality will continue for years to come.

The Forefront of Lighting Technology

Grote is at the cutting edge of vehicle lighting solutions, with a strong focus on LED technology. LED lights have revolutionized the way vehicles are illuminated, offering a combination of longer lifespan, reduced energy consumption, and brighter, more reliable lighting. Grote has harnessed the power of LED technology to create lighting solutions that improve visibility, enhance safety, and reduce maintenance costs.

 Key Lighting Products

Grote’s portfolio of lighting products includes solutions for nearly every type of vehicle and application. Some of their most popular and widely used products include:

Expanding Manufacturing Capabilities

Grote’s commitment to innovation is evident in its manufacturing capabilities. In 2020, the company opened the Next Generation Manufacturing Center (NGMC) in Madison, Indiana, to specialize in the production of LED headlamps. This state-of-the-art facility allows Grote to meet the growing demand for high-quality, energy-efficient lighting solutions in the automotive industry.

In addition to their U.S. operations, Grote also manufactures lighting products in its international facilities, including those in Waterloo, Ontario (specializing in LED circuit boards) and Monterrey, Mexico (producing specialized wiring and incandescent lamps). These strategically located plants ensure that Grote can serve its diverse customer base across the globe efficiently and effectively.

 A Family-Owned Business with a Global Impact

Despite its global reach, Grote remains deeply committed to its family-owned values. With a focus on quality, safety, and innovation, Grote Industries has become one of the most respected names in the vehicle lighting industry. By continuing to invest in cutting-edge technology and expanding its manufacturing capabilities, Grote is poised to remain at the forefront of the industry for the next 100 years and beyond.
