Garrett technologies & innovations have been used by nearly every major global automaker, resulting in approximately 100 million vehicles with their products & an average launch rate of 100 new applications annually spanning gas, diesel, natural gas, electric, & fuel cell powertrains. The name John Clifford Garrett is inextricably linked to the story of turbocharging. Garrett’s passion for engineering & aviation was evident from an early age & in 1928 he became Lockheed’s 29^th employee. However, he harbored an ambition to run his own aviation corporation & on May 21, 1936, he created the Aircraft Tool & Supply Company (later the Garrett Supply Company) in a one-roomed office in Los Angeles. By the end of the 1930s, the company‘s first product, an all-aluminum aircraft intercooler, had been built. By the end of the 1940s, post-war planning had paid off with a listing on the NYSE. The fifties were marked by Garrett‘s diversification & expansion. The company’s aerospace design experience & knowledge supported the development of the firm‘s land-based business – & soon Garrett became the name synonymous with engine boosting in the automotive sector.
