Berryman Products was recently featured in USA Today for exemplifying agility, innovation, and excellence in the automotive industry. This national recognition validates our ability to adapt and serve the automotive aftermarket amid changing technologies, regulations, and consumer expectations. This acknowledgment reinforces the principles that have guided Berryman Products for more than a century.
A Century of Adaptation Built on Core Values
Since 1918, Berryman Products has been creating quality automotive products. From the beginning, our family-owned and operated company has been guided by the same principles and a commitment to quality, integrity, and customer service.
Our longevity is the result of continuously refining our manufacturing processes. As automotive technology has evolved, we’ve refined our formulations and ensured our products meet the real-world needs of professional mechanics and everyday vehicle owners alike.
A defining factor behind our ability to adapt is our company culture. Berryman Products operates with a relatively small, tight-knit team that values collaboration and clear communication. Every employee is invested in the work we do, and that commitment carries through to the performance and reliability of our products.
This structure allows us to respond quickly to market demands. Supported by an in-house research and development team, including on-site chemistry expertise, we maintain the flexibility needed to keep pace with the automotive industry.
Agility in Action During the COVID-19 Pandemic
We demonstrated our agility in action best during the COVID-19 pandemic. When hand sanitizer became difficult to find, we stepped in and redirected our production towards manufacturing it. Using our chemical expertise and manufacturing capabilities, we were able to supply something that was sorely in demand at the time.
As our Vice President and General Manager, Beau Blankenship, puts it, the goal was never profit – it was for purpose. We were happy to help by donating hand sanitizer to community organizations in need. We have also provided them at no cost to customers purchasing our automotive products. This moment reinforced a long-held belief: supporting our customers and communities matters most when it matters most.
Industry Presence and Innovation at AAPEX
Staying visible and engaged within the automotive industry continues to matter deeply to us. That is why we take part in major trade shows such as the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX), where professionals from across the global aftermarket come together.
Events like AAPEX give us the opportunity to connect directly with industry partners, share what we are working on, and reinforce that even as a smaller company, we continue to hold a strong and respected position in automotive chemicals.
At AAPEX 2024, we were honored to receive the Product and Packaging Showcase Award in the Chemicals, Lubricants & Filters category for our Berryman Total Fuel System Cleanup. This recognition speaks to the work happening behind the scenes, including ongoing research, careful formulation, and a clear understanding of where vehicle technology is headed.
As hybrid vehicles continue to gain ground, we have focused on developing solutions that address their specific fuel system needs, helping ensure our products remain relevant as the industry evolves.
Our innovation extends across our product portfolio, including solutions designed for modern, sensitive vehicle systems. Products such as the Berryman Electronic Cleaner (VOC Compliant in All 50 States) reflect our focus on regulatory compliance and professional-grade performance, while the Berryman Electronic Cleaner delivers precision cleaning trusted by technicians working on today’s advanced automotive electronics.
Proud of the Recognition, Focused on the Future
As we look ahead, our focus remains steady. The automotive industry will continue to evolve, and we are prepared to evolve with it – all while remaining true to the values that have guided Berryman Products for generations.
We are thankful for this national recognition and for the mechanics, car enthusiasts, and partners who continue to rely on Berryman Products every day. Our history gives us perspective, and our experience gives us confidence as we move forward with the same commitment to integrity, performance, and innovation that has always defined who we are.
