Sherwood Innovations® was incorporated on February 1st, 1997. Two years later, Sherwood purchased the assets of TrimMaster Inc., a major supplier of dash components to auto manufacturers, which provided Sherwood Innovations with its own manufacturing capacity. The company moved quickly to expand its line of interior components, and made heavy investments in R&D and testing facilities to develop its proprietary materials and specialized production machinery. All through the rapid growth Sherwood has put emphasis on improved quality, and the company is now quality certified according to ISO9001, QS9000 and TS16949 standards, the highest quality standard in the industry. The company operates out of Toronto, Ontario, producing real dashes, graphic dashes and molded dashes, as well as door handles, port holes, mirror covers, and headlight and taillight trims. In 2009, the company was recognized as a Canadian Innovation Leader by the Canadian National Research Council, for its innovations in the field of automotive trim production. Sherwood now operates a production facility with over 50,000 sq ft of floor space and employs over 75 people, a fourth of them being technicians and engineers. Sherwood has also partnered with overseas companies to serve the international auto industry with high-quality products delivered just in time, aiming to a position as a global tier one supplier of OE trim products to the major auto manufacturers.
