Garner IA-based Stellar Industries Inc, a truck-mounted hydraulic equipment manufacturer, has been named one of the top 2003 automotive suppliers by the Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association (AASA).
The AASA conducts an annual recognition program called the Top 70 Auto Aftermarket Suppliers, which is sponsored by Dana Corp. It bases its criteria on each company's respective North American auto-related aftermarket sales. Stellar recently introduced the X-Tra-Lift pickup loading device that lifts 1,300 pounds into the back of a full-size pickup while keeping the load parallel to the ground at all times.
