traces its roots to 1986, when Indiana Automotive Equipment was founded by Robert Chastain to meet a growing need in the automotive service industry: a company that could not only provide quality shop equipment, but also install, service, and maintain it for the long haul. That commitment to complete equipment solutions and dependable customer service became the foundation of the company and remains central to SLE Technologies, Inc. Over the decades, the company expanded its capabilities, technical expertise, and geographic reach. What began as Indiana Automotive Equipment evolved through strategic growth and the addition of experienced equipment companies across the Midwest into SLE Technologies, Inc.
