Schrader, the global leader in the design and manufacture of valve, mechanical and electronic system components and sensing technologies, has delivered innovative solutions that customers trust. From the beginning, the Schrader brand has been driven by innovation. One of their first inventions was the world-renowned Schrader pneumatic tire valve-the very same valve that is used today on every motor vehicle in the world. Since their breakthrough inventions beginning in 1844, they've accelerated their strong culture and track record of innovative technologies solving real-world challenges for their customers. More recently, they pioneered tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) for global OEMs and a revolutionary, patented programmable sensor for the Aftermarket. TPMS is a safety feature now standard on all cars in North America and growing globally in Europe and Asian-Pacific countries. In fact, more than half of all global vehicle platforms utilize Schrader direct TPMS technology. By accurately monitoring tire pressure, TPMS helps drivers avoid serious accidents, reduce environmental impact, and save money at the pump
