Kreider Family Purchases Robison Racing Products
The Kreider family, a New Jersey-based family with ties to the racing industry and current USAC Silver Crown racer Mike Haggenbottom, has purchased Robison Racing Products. The company will begin operating under a new name, Robison Race Products by Kreider Manufacturing, following the acquisition.
The company's former owner, Gerry Robison, passed away in November 2023.
The new company will relocate from its former headquarters in Dublin, Pennsylvania, to the Kreider's 3,300-sq.-ft. machine shop in Whitehouse, New Jersey. Jeff Kreider, a CNC machinist with 35 years of experience serving the aerospace, military and medical industries, and Dawn Kreider, sister of Mike and John Haggenbottom, will helm the operation. The couple's children, Roxanne, Julia and Jared, will also assist in operations.
The company will launch a website at a later date.
