Red Dot Corp.

Puyallup-based Red Dot Corp. and its employee-owners are celebrating the company's 60th anniversary by launching a new brand, platform-Red Dot is REDy for Anything. “REDy for Anything captures both who we are and where we're going,” said John Beering, CEO of Red Dot. “It reflects our purpose: to take the team member ingenuity, product reliability, and customer relationships that have defined us for 60 years and apply them to new frontiers. We're expanding into emerging markets while staying deeply committed to the people, products, and partnerships that built Red Dot's legacy.” The anniversary celebrations came on the heels of the launch of Offroad Arctic, a new brand of in-cab climate control for UTVs, or utility terrain vehicles. Red Dot currently has manufacturing and sales facilities in the United States, United Kingdom and China, a Millenium RedDOT LTD partnership in India, international OEM partnerships, a strong distributor network and products in use across six continents. Red Dot traces its beginnings to the late 1950s, when Harcourt G. “Harky” Runnings started a sideline business making heaters at his automotive radiator repair shop in West Seattle. In 1965, he incorporated Red Dot with a plan to develop heating and air conditioning products specifically for heavy-duty vehicles and off-highway equipment. Red Dot serves the construction, agriculture, mining and off-highway, military, emergency, coach and bus, and specialty vehicle markets. The company is expanding into strategic new markets, including UTVs and side-by-sides, electric vehicles, battery thermal management, and advanced commercial applications.
