Carrillo Industries was founded by Fred Carrillo in 1963. Fred approached the challenges of manufacturing with the idea of no compromise. He knew the never ending quest for speed would require the same desire in component manufacturing. This Carrillo philosophy is as evident today as it was at Carrillo’s conception in 1963.

We have dedicated our resources to one effort, connecting rods and connecting rods only. This dedication has created one of the most impressive success records of any automotive aftermarket parts supplier. Carrillo has supplied components to the winners of virtually all venues of Motorsports throughout the world. The list includes Formula 1, 2, and 3, NASCAR, NHRA, IRL, World Rally, AMA, Superbike, Trans AM, CanAM, GTP, SCCA, Sprint Cars, Modified, Land Speed, the list is practically endless.

After almost forty years of directing Carrillo Industries, Fred decided it was time to relax and he retired in 2001. Carrillo now operates under CP Pistons, a subsidiary of Pankl Racing Systems.

We contribute our continued and envied success in the Motorsports industry to our quest to advance quality in all aspects of our products and business; but we credit our growth and success entirely to you, and your confident use of our products. We thank you for your loyalty as we pledge to continue to offer the highest quality products and services that you have come to expect from Carrillo.
