Perrin History
Parts & Performance since 1996
1996: The Beginning
Our owner, Adam Taft, began to sell import performance parts out of the office of his parent's architectural business located in a small house in Beaverton, OR.
Friends would ask for Adam, and he would roll out a baker's rack which contained all his inventory.

2002: A Good Hire
With the Honda market had becoming over saturated with parts we started to carry aftermarket Subaru products. Subaru products became so successful that we drop all other vehicle product lines.
Jeff Perrin joins our staff as an installer/tech and we quietly began to manufacture a few Subaru parts under the PERRIN brand name.

2005: Bursting at the seams
PERRIN and ALTA brand parts are selling like crazy. We are once again in search of a larger warehouse space.
New vehicle lines like the EVO and Scion are added to PERRIN. We also bought a massive 2 car stacker trailer and hauler to visit car shows around the country and we purchased our first forklift.

2007: A New Home
Purchased a 25,000 sq/ft facility in Hillsboro, Oregon. With room to grow, we could now increase production and add more office staff. For the first time since we began manufacturing, we had a real showroom for local customers to see our products. Dyno testing and tuning are brought in house.
