Lou Stephenson and Roy Sullins purchased Detroit Tarpaulin in 1963.
They began manufacturing and repairing truck tarps, along with their sons Guy Sullins, Don
Sullins, and Tom Stephenson. Back then, Guy, Don, and Tom worked the cutting tables, the
sewing and welding machines, and drove the delivery truck. They became familiar with every
aspect of the manufacture of tarpaulins. Today Guy, Don and Tom are still "Hands
On" owners, manufacturing tarpaulins and covers for many industrial applications. Our
sales staff (Jim Pinter, Dennis Trezona, and Jeff Stephenson) also have a long history with our
company with a total of 60 years of experience.
In 1963, most tarpaulins were made of canvas and there were few
color choices. When vinyl coated nylon was first introduced, Detroit
Tarp was one of the first tarpaulin manufacturers to offer it to our
customers. Through the 35 years of manufacturing covers, we have continued to offer the
newest fabrics available. Today’s technology has provided a wealth of exciting new
fabric choices. Our ongoing relationships with multiple fabric manufacturers will enable
us to make these fabrics available to you as soon as they appear on the market. Our years
of expertise will provide you with the most cost efficient solutions to your needs. We
look forward to your inquiries.
