S&S Cycle Acquires Crane Cams Assets

 

S&S Cycle of Viola, Wisconsin acquired certain assets of Crane Cams, Inc. on May 7, 2009.  Those assets include the inventory, intellectual property, and trademarks for all Crane automotive and motorcycle electronic and valve train products.  The intellectual property portion includes designs, drawings, and cam profiles. Crane Cams was founded in 1953, and like S&S Cycle, founded in 1958, it has become a respected and iconic brand in the high performance industry.

 

 

S&S intends to continue to sell Crane products through the same distributors and dealers who have sold them in the past.  To that end, they will establish a new facility in Daytona Beach, Florida to manage the business and provide customer service and technical support.  This new facility will be staffed by many of the same personnel that Crane customers have worked with in the past, providing as seamless a transition as possible.  While there may be some shortages of product in the near future, the Crane/S&S team will be working hard to fill back orders and meet future demand for Crane ignitions and valve train components.

 

It will take some time to bring Crane products back on line, so please be patient, and check back to this website frequently for up to date information.
