Our Story
1975
Company established as one of the first manufacturers of injection molded parts in West Michigan. Still building on the innovative mindset that started it all, with family values that have never been questioned.
1990
Building on 15 years of experience, our first paint system established a pattern of reinvestment in the business that remains today and enabled our growth into the North American leader for vehicle access systems.
2005
The ADAC our customers know today started almost 20 years ago. Transforming user experiences and improving supply chains with the design, development and integration of electronic and mechatronic systems.
2006
While retaining manufacturing roots in West Michigan, expansion to manufacturing in Mexico put our locations everywhere our customers seek the level of service only ADAC provides.
2012
Sticking with our history and heritage, our next generation of ownership drives the heartbeat of our organization today. Still in the family. Woman-owned. Caring and committed.
2019
Our products transform the user experience. Our people change lives. With a commitment to our customers, team and community, investment in our World Headquarters and Innovation Center really says we are just getting started.
Today
Building on over 50 years of experience, our foundation allows for invention and re-invention. Always listening. Constantly learning. Following our vision – to be a variable of change by solving for unknowns.
