Heritage & History
Dorman Products was founded in 1918 in Colmar, Pennsylvania, beginning as a manufacturer of wheel bolts and specialty fasteners for the early automobile industry. As vehicle complexity grew, Dorman expanded its product line to cover the replacement parts that dealers had previously monopolized — door handles, window regulators, cooling system components, and engine management parts that failed as vehicles aged but were only available as expensive dealer-only items.
Dorman's business model is built on engineering and manufacturing replacements for parts that the original vehicle manufacturers either discontinued or priced beyond what vehicle age justified. The result is a catalog of over 160,000 parts that give independent repair shops and DIY mechanics access to quality replacement components at prices that make older vehicle repair economically sensible.
Made in Colmar, Pennsylvania
Dorman Products manufactures automotive replacement parts at the Colmar, Pennsylvania facility and other domestic plants. Replacement parts production requires the engineering precision to match original equipment dimensions exactly — a lug nut that's 0.001 inches undersized will loosen, a door handle that's 1mm off won't close. Dorman's Pennsylvania manufacturing incorporates the quality control systems needed to produce parts that fit as well as originals.
Colmar is in Montgomery County in southeastern Pennsylvania, in a region with deep manufacturing traditions that include the automotive and industrial hardware industries that Dorman has served for over a century. For vehicle owners who want American-made replacement parts from a company with 105 years of precision manufacturing, Dorman's Pennsylvania production delivers the quality and fit that make vehicle maintenance reliable.
