The Revolutionary Journey of Aluminum Motorcycle Sprockets: From Concept to Industry Standard
1950-1960s: The Birth of Aluminum Sprockets
Chuck Trantham, a visionary flat track racer and skilled machinist, revolutionized the industry by pioneering the use of aluminum for sprockets, launching C.T. Alloy Products in 1950 as the first U.S. company to manufacture aluminum sprockets.
1960-1970s: Building a Legacy
Chuck's stepson, Doug, deeply influenced by Chuck's passion for motorcycles and racing, joined the family business, marking a new era of expansion and innovation. This period saw Doug's rise in the racing world and his significant contributions to the company's growth and product development.
1980-1990s: Expansion and Innovation
