Founded in 1977 as a hydraulic-seal supplier, DeKalb-based SVI International manufactures automotive lift equipment and supplies repair parts that keep older and current shop equipment working. Its engineers are known for “re-continuing” discontinued lift parts, while two ready-ship warehouses support same-day delivery across North America. SVI operates a 55,000-square-foot manufacturing and distribution facility and serves a network of more than 2,000 distributors.
