Independent Protection history
Independent Protection company history timeline
The Cripe Lightning Rod Company, a predecessor company, was founded in the mid-1920’s by Henry H. Cripe and his sons.
The company was sold to its primary competitor for a very high price thirty days before the 1929 stock market crash.
In 1934 during the Great Depression, son Earnest C. Cripe established Independent Protection Co., Inc. in Goshen, Indiana to manufacture and install lightning protection systems.
As a highly successful Goshen industrialist and a man of great inventiveness and drive, Earnest, developed the first Turtle Top and Travel Gear Conversion for a cargo van in 1962.
In 1978 Turtle Top initiated production of the Terra Transit bus.
