About Crosley

Starting out in 1951 as a local Truck Tarpaulin Repair Shop, Crosley Canvas has grown into a full service customized industrial fabrics company continuing to provide the tradition of quality and personal service for all of our customer needs.

Along the way, Crosley Canvas invented and manufactured the “Crocan” rubber tie down strap, which plays a part in securing tarpaulins and many other products in today’s evolving world.
