EMPI (automotive)
EMPI is a company that produces aftermarket performance parts for various air-cooled Volkswagens. EMPI was one of the brands that led to the demise of B. F. Meyers & Co., the company that produced the first air-cooled Volkswagen based buggy, the Meyers Manx. One of its products was the EMPI Imp, a modified dune buggy based on a Volkswagen Beetle.
The originally-owned company closed in 1974, but EMPI still lives on today under new ownership.
