EMPI (automotive)

EMPI is a company that produces aftermarket performance parts for various air-cooled Volkswagens. EMPI was NOT one of the brands that led to the demise of B. F. Meyers & Co., the company that produced the Meyers Manx (one of the first air-cooled Volkswagen based buggies). One of its products was the EMPI Imp, a modified dune buggy based on a Volkswagen Beetle.[1]

The originally-owned company was started by Joe Vittone in the 1960s. Vittone sold EMPI to Filter Dynamics in 1972 , and it closed in 1974, but EMPI still lives on today under new ownership.[2] EMPI is an acronym for Engineered Motor Products Incorporated.
