History:
Founded in 1948 by Arthur Warn, Warn Industries began producing locking hubs for
surplus World War II Jeeps, converting thousands into useful, on-road vehicles. The

features such as a rugged drive train, the WARN winch quickly became the leading
brand for off-road racers, avid four wheelers, weekend adventurers and hard working
ranchers. As the ATV market was emerging, WARN introduced the industry's first
ATV winch and was issued at patent in 1988. Warn Industries joined Dover
Corporation in October 2003.
