Company History

 

Star Products (formally known as The Hoffmann Company) was founded in 1924 as a Manufacturers' Representative Company in the Automotive Aftermarket. After WWII the Company saw a need for certain types of equipment and began to Design and Manufacture Automotive Test Equipment. Out of the success of this test equipment grew a family of test products, which are used, today in both automotive and industrial applications around the world.

 

In August 2003 A & E Incorporated of Racine, Wisconsin acquired Star Products. The late Daniel M. Lang founded A & E INCORPORATED in 1932. From this one-man operation A & E has developed a family of companies which designs, manufactures and distributes specialty automotive/industrial tools, test equipment, small engine pulleys and produces custom contract metal stampings and distributes quality German tools. A & E Incorporated remains a privately held "family" business.

 

Star Products offers gasoline/diesel engine and transmission test tools and equipment that include: Engine Compression, Cylinder Leakage, Fuel Injection, Pressure and Vacuum testers. Star Products manufactures under their own brand name "Star" to major tool manufacturers, distributors and fleet maintenance/repair operations, and on a private label basis for companies such as: Matco Tools and the ATD group.

 

The unique design and state-of-the-art testing tools of the Star Products line offers a superior advantage to competitive testers while maintaining a price below that of most similar products. Buying Test Equipment made by Star Products assures you of purchasing the finest product available in this line. Each tester must meet rigid quality standards before leaving our plant.
