Thunder trucks

Ermico Enterprises, Inc. was founded in 1976 by Eric Swenson and Fausto Vitello. The company's line of business includes the manufacture of sporting and athletic goods. The two manufactured the revolutionary skateboard trucks (Indy) in a foundry at Hunters Point Shipyard. The foundry, which operated under the name Ermico Enterprises Inc., has since moved to 17th Street in Potrero Hill. They also founded the distribution company Deluxe Distributions, which operates alongside Ermico Enterprises. Deluxe Distribution is a subsidiary of Ermico Enterprises, Inc. which was founded in 1986 with Brian Ware in San Francisco. Deluxe was founded to distribute the Beware Record label and other small record labels popular with skateboarders, as well as Thunder Trucks and Supercush Bushings. Deluxe distributes six skateboard brands and owns DLXSF, a retail store. Thunder Skateboard Trucks has been around in skateboarding longer than many skateboarders have been alive. The company was founded in San Francisco in 1986 and is part of the Deluxe Distribution family.
