About West Automotive Products
West Automotive Products was founded in 1983 in Canby, Oregon, by Don West, a mechanic, entrepreneur, and inventor. West began experimenting with wooden dowels to solve the difficulty of aligning the disc and flywheel during manual transmission clutch replacement, eventually developing a custom plastic injection molding process that became the foundation of the company. The company designs, fabricates, and delivers clutch alignment tools used in aftermarket clutch kits for thousands of engine types, producing more than 200 unique tools via injection molding. Its Oregon facility handles all design and manufacturing in-house without outsourcing, and also produces drink holders, quick disconnect tools, transmission plugs, seal installers, and timing chain tools. The injection molding process uses 100 percent post-industrial material, and byproducts are re-fabricated to eliminate industrial waste. West Automotive serves the automotive aftermarket, heavy-duty trucking, and agricultural equipment sectors across North America, Central America, and overseas markets. Its customers include manufacturers of aftermarket clutch kits who rely on the company’s 100 percent fill rates and on-time delivery to meet their own production schedules. The firm works directly with clients’ R&D departments to develop custom alignment tools for new and existing applications. Don West’s original goal was to bring more precision to clutch replacement, a mission that still drives the company’s quality guarantee — offering full exchange or refund if products do not meet requirements — and its commitment to streamlined, waste-free manufacturing.
