Wheeled transportation might be taken for granted today, but more than a century ago the idea of propelling carriages with motors instead of horses was nothing short of outlandish. The idea succeeded, though, thanks to the brilliance of inventors who embraced the increasingly mechanized world, the risk-taking of entrepreneurs who believed in its potential, and the business savvy of industrialists who scaled start-up ventures to large enterprises that propelled the whole industry forward.
Among those pioneers were the founders of Dana Incorporated – Clarence Spicer, Joseph Victor, Hugo Reinz, J.B. Long, and Charles Dana among them. Their initiative and ingenuity still drives Dana today in our mission to anticipate and address our customers’ needs with innovative solutions.
