Delco Remy International Inc., changes its corporate name to Remy International Inc., effective Aug. 1, 2004, marking the 10th anniversary as a separate company from General Motors Corp.

The company will continue to market certain starters and heavy-duty alternators for original equipment and aftermarket customers under the Delco Remy trademark, which is licensed to the company by General Motors. The company will also add the Remy trademark to its brand portfolio for a variety of automotive products in addition to using Remy International Inc., as the new corporate name.
Under a separate agreement, the company continues its relationship with GM Service and Parts Operations to distribute aftermarket light-duty starters under the AC Delco brand, for the U.S. and Canada.
"This journey started with Remy Electric in 1896. Now we are going back to our roots," said President and CEO Thomas J. Snyder. "Our new strategy will offer two top trademarks, Remy and Delco Remy."
Remy headquarters and the technical center will continue in Anderson, Ind. Administratively, there will be some changes, but operations, production and deliveries will be unaffected, according to Snyder.
The original company began as a home wiring business in 1896 when two brothers, Frank and Perry Remy, stopped long enough in Anderson, Ind., on their way West, to find a heartland-America community with all the resources and opportunities they needed to set up shop and stake their futures.
