From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Livernois Vehicle Development began its history as a part of a larger company, Livernois Engineering Company. Livernois Engineering began in 1950 in the areas of die design and die build.
In 1958, the company branched out with its own product line of portable transfer dies under the name of Livernois Automation. This was the world's first in portable die transfer systems. The next area of growth began in the early 1960’s with product design opportunities in the heat exchange area for Ford Motor Company. This allowed us to grow another division that specialized in building production equipment and tooling for heat exchangers, such as, radiators, condensers, heater cores for the OEM market as well building prototypes and low volume production.
Then in the mid 1990’s, Livernois Engineering began to divest its business units to other third party companies.
In 2000, Livernois Vehicle Development was purchased by one of the previous operating family members, Norma Wallis and became a new stand alone company with a renewed focus on customer services and customer needs. Livernois achieved both the Ford Q-1 award and received the highest customer satisfaction rating the Ford supplier commodity base, for two years in a row. In April of 2003, Livernois Vehicle Development was awarded the World Supplier Excellence Award by Ford Motor Company for outstanding performance in cost, quality and timing for the year 2002.
In 2001 the company also branched out into the high performance business, by creating another company, called Livernois Motorsports. This company builds complete race and street motors, builds CNC cylinder heads, operates a complete engine machine shop and offers a wide array of installations services including superchargers, turbo’s, engine tuning and other specialty performance parts.
For that kinda buy I'd cut holes in the ceiling.
