History

SRC was established in 1983 when 13 employees of International Harvester purchased a part of that company that rebuilt truck engines,[1] with $100,000 of their own money and $8.9 million in loans, with the goal of saving 119 jobs.[2] By 1988, SRC's debt to equity ratio was down to 1.8 to 1, and the business had a value of $43 million. The stock price, $0.10 in 1983, had increased to $13 per share.[3] By 2015, the stock was worth over $199 per share.[4]

SRC founded and invested in more than 60 separate companies that do everything from consulting to packaging to building high-performance engines. Including current joint-ventures SRC's sales are over $600M, with more than 2,000 employees, and has 3000000square feet of manufacturing and warehousing space.[5] [6]
