About Us
Collision repair innovation since 1972.
Chief Collision Technology was originally founded in 1972 in Grand Island, Nebraska under a different name. Back then, Chief was the first structural repair equipment manufacturer to attain ISO 9001 Certification—a standard that designates quality assurance in product design, production, installation and service after the sale. Today, we carry on that tradition of quality at six locations around the world, with representation in 48 countries on five continents. We understand that your success depends upon three things: our product quality, innovation and exceptional customer service. We strive to deliver all three every day.
The Chief equipment difference.
Our goal is to provide collision repair shops a total repair solution across our Chief products and the other high quality brands we offer: Globaljig. From diagnostics and measuring to pulling, welding and structural repairs, we help you work efficiently, safely and accurately. Our products combine sophisticated technology with easy-to-use displays and controls. Plus, we do our best to bring you the very latest OEM specifications, so you can make better repairs with better results and more profitability.
More Choices. Higher Quality. Value Pricing.
These reasons alone have prompted thousands of body shop professionals to make Chief their sole source of collision repair equipment for accurate results. And when you look at the “big picture” in terms of what Chief provides before, during and after the sale, the differences will astound you.
