About Independent
Independent Truck Company is an American skateboard truck manufacturer founded in 1978 by Fausto Vitello, Eric Swenson, Richard Novak, and Jay Shuirman in Santa Cruz, California. The trucks are cast at Ermico Enterprises in San Francisco and distributed by NHS, the Santa Cruz parent company that also runs Santa Cruz Skateboards and Creature. Within six months of launch the trucks held a 50 percent market share, and the Stage geometry has been refined through eleven generations. The Iron Cross logo, designed by artist Kevin Ancell, became one of skateboarding's most reproduced graphics. Supreme has collaborated with Independent on co-branded trucks and apparel.
