Hollywood Racks started
in 1973 when we began making trunk-mounted racks in the
back of our bike shop in Hollywood, California. Our aim
was simple: We wanted to make good quality products that
were easy to use and came fully assembled. We earned a great
reputation fast and soon began selling our racks to other
bike shops throughout California. By the late ‘70s,
we began selling our racks to bicycle companies such as
Schwinn, Peugeot and Nishiki. In 1981, we closed the bike
shop and opened a small factory in Los Angeles, CA to exclusively
make car racks, then relocated to a larger facility in 1988.
In 1989, we began exporting our products to Europe, and
in the 1990’s we expanded our line to include racks
for trailer hitches, pickup trucks and spare tires. We have
since relocated again to our present facility in the Los
Angeles area. Our products are available in all 50 states
and in over 25 countries worldwide.
Today,
we still build Hollywood
Racks
the only way we know how - simple, strong and secure, and
we are proud to maintain our reputation of having the toughest
racks in the business that will look great on your car.
We are family owned and operated, the same folks for 35
years!
