BendPak, the manufacturer of car lifts, wheel service, shop equipment and more, has announced the passing of its founder Don Henthorn. He was 85.

"Through his guidance, BendPak has grown from a small machine shop into the world’s leading manufacturer of car lifts and automotive shop equipment. Even though he handed over day-to-day management to the current leadership team back in 2022, Don still came in 6 days a week to coach and inspire us," a company release stated.
