About Us. BIRD Automotive is a closely held USA corporation whose principal owner and president is Samuel Bird. Mr. Bird is a mechanical engineer/MBA and a US Army veteran. For more than twenty five years we have designed, produced, sold and serviced accessories primarily for European and Japanese 2 door sports cars and sporty cars. Our Business has moved over the years from Willton, CT to Irvine and Monterey CA, and in 2021, permanently to our present location in Norwalk, CT. We maintain telephone numbers in London and Sydney which ring toll-free to CT. About 1/3rd of our business is international.
Starting in 2000, we introduced a bicycle rack, cycle rack, bike rack, ski rack, snowboard rack, luggage rack, and golf bag carrier system that offer substantial advantages over alternatives. In 2022 due to COVID and supply chain issues, we narrowed our offerings to include only the cars and bike racks that were the most popular.
All of the company's sales are products we have invented, many with patent protection. Most manufacturing is done by an accomplished team of long-term subcontractors in the USA. From our computer aided designs, they use numerically controlled laser cutters, computerized bending and other fabricating equipment to assure consistent quality. All final assembly and final quality control is performed in-house in Conneticut as is product service. Our customer base is international with US concentration on the east and west coasts because of their high density of European and Japanese automobiles. All of our products qualify under Federal Trade Commision rules as "Made in USA" .
