About RPM
RPM INTERNATIONAL INC. is located in Southern California in the City of Brea. For over 10 years, our company has supplied many nationally known distributors of performance parts, and has developed a reputation for high quality and pioneering parts to meet market demands.
One of our first innovations to our performance line was our ultra light weight I-beam connecting rod for a broad range of small block Chevy and Ford applications which are nearly 100 grams lighter than the H Beam rods. This eventually grew into the development of our Sports Compact rods for Honda, Acura, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota , VW and Mitsubishi. We use ONLY ARP 2000 3/8 bolts in these applications and they are sold under the IQ series designation.
In 2007, RPM released our revolutionary (and patented) LG 2 Series RPMMAXX H-Beam rods. Rated at 1200 H.P., market acceptance has been very strong for this line. This rod comes with a through the beam oiling hole from the big end to the pin in order to keep the pin cool and well lubricated. New items introduced under the RPM MAXX brand will be added to our inventory in 2008 and we will keep you posted.
Coming in 2008 is a selection of our own line of performance rotating assemblies. These will start off with popular Chevy and Ford kits first in either cast crank or forged crank kits. We have also increased our customer service staff and technical department in the past few months to handle increased demand and most orders usually ship the same day depending on availability.
RPM INTERNATIONAL built its own Joint-Venture Factory in P.R. China, specializing in the design and production of connecting rods in many styles and power ratings for a wide range of performance applications. We have been awarded patents on our LG2 Series connecting rods, and have applied for additional patents as of this time. Our factory has implemented TQC system? Total Quality Control system which allows us to meet or exceed current ISO world standards. These principles require all of our employees be trained to operate our state of the art testing equipment.
Having our own factory not only enables us to offer a variety of related products, but offer them at a very competitive price! Our relationships with our fellow manufacturing vendors, allows us to maintain a great inventory in our Brea location, with a fill rate of over 90% year round. This means Great Quality Great Service And Great Pricing with RPM.
