SnugTop designs, manufactures, and sells truck caps and related products. The brand has a heritage of industry leadership and is part of a family of brands that manufacture fiberglass and aluminum truck caps, bed covers, and drawer systems.
History
SnugTop began in 1959 when Bob Kyle started building aftermarket hardtops for European sports cars under Custom Fibreglass Manufacturing Co., calling them 'Snug Products', which soon became 'SNUGTOP'. The transition to truck caps began in 1965 with a topper for the original Datsun mini truck. In 1973, SNUGTOP responded to the gas crunch with a sleek cab-high design for full-sized pickups. In 1979, the first major long-term contract was to provide Subaru of America with tops for the 'Brat' pickup. In 1989, the company was sold to an investment and management group headed by Hartmut Schroeder, SNUGTOP's President and CEO.
