Independent Truck Company – one of the most recognized and respected brands specializing in skateboard trucks. Founded in 1978, the company is headquartered in Santa Cruz, California, with production taking place at the Ermico factory in the San Francisco Bay Area. Since its beginnings, Independent Trucks has remained the number one choice among professional skateboarders.
Independent trucks are ridden by Andrew Reynolds, Pedro Delfino, Tom Knox, Tiago Lemos, and Mason Silva, among others.
An interesting fact is that the company’s logo (a variant of the cross pattée, often mistaken for the Iron Cross) was inspired by the June 18, 1979, cover of TIME magazine, which featured Pope John Paul II wearing this symbol on his liturgical vestment.
