Now a brand of Maxima Technologies, Stewart Warner is perhaps the most recognized name in vehicle instruments in the history of the U.S. automotive industry. In fact, the brand dates back to 1905 when John Stewart founded Stewart & Clark Company. Stewart brand speedometers were first used on original Ford Model Ts, after which the company established itself as a market-leading supplier of instruments. Seven years later, in 1912, Stewart and Edgar Bassick joined forces to create a new company to manufacture vehicle instruments and horns. Bassick, whose acquisitions included the Alemite Company, and Stewart also acquired the Warner Instrument Company and, as such, the Stewart-Warner Instrument Corporation was born.

In early 1998 Datcon Instrument Company, acquired Stewart Warner and in March 1998, the entire enterprise (including Spanish acquisition Industries Jorda, S.L.) was renamed Maxima Technologies. Maxima decided to retain former company names as brands (Stewart Warner, Datcon and AST) in order to sustain these brands in their core market segments. Today, Maxima and its Stewart Warner brand are poised for even bigger and better things. Backed by a strong management team, the firm's future is buoyed by numerous recently won O.E.M. contracts and a rededication to the Stewart Warner brand and its core aftermarket. "100 Years and Counting, Stewart Warner just keeps getting better!"
