Stant’s tradition of innovation and quality began in 1898, when George Stant founded the company in Connersville, Indiana, USA. That same tradition is what continues to set Stant apart as the global leader in fuel, vapor, and thermal management design and manufacture.
Today, Stant is the global leader in the design of fuel, vapor, and thermal management systems for the automotive industry. With operations in the United States, Mexico, Czech Republic, and China, Stant is able to provide its global customers with quality products and solutions to meet their increasing emissions control and cooling needs.
