25 Years of Tire Monitoring. More than 70 Years of Trust.

April 8, 2026

In an industry where technology fads come and go, longevity means something.

This year, Doran Manufacturing celebrates 25 years in the tire monitoring systems category, a milestone built on more than seven decades of engineering, manufacturing expertise, and building customer trust.

While tire monitoring systems have evolved dramatically over the past quarter century, one thing has remained constant: commercial vehicles operating in demanding environments need solutions that are built for the real world.

And that has always been Doran’s commitment and focus.

A Legacy That Started Long Before Telematics

Doran Manufacturing has been in business for more than 70 years, long before the words “IoT” or “telematics” were part of the fleet vocabulary.

Over the decades, the company built its reputation on:

That foundation made the transition into tire monitoring systems not just logical, but strategic.

When Doran entered the TPMS market 25 years ago, the goal wasn’t to chase trends. It was to solve a growing operational problem: drivers and fleet managers needed easy and early visibility into tire health to prevent costly downtime.


25 Years in a Market That Didn’t Stand Still

Over the last 25 years, tire monitoring technology has moved from an optional accessory to operational necessity.

And throughout that evolution, Doran focused on the fleets operating in the harshest conditions:

In these environments, failure isn’t theoretical, it’s immediate and expensive.

According to the FMCSA, 85% of tire failures begin as slow leaks. Early detection matters. Reliability matters. Survivability matters.

For 25 years, Doran’s approach has been simple:
Build monitoring systems that survive where others struggle.


From Hardware to Ecosystem Integration

When Doran began in tire monitoring, the original focus was to create standalone systems for in-cab notifications and storage of alerts for accountability to fleet management.

Today, the industry demands more.

Modern fleets rely on:

Over time, Doran evolved alongside the industry expanding from rugged hardware into integrated ecosystem solutions.

By working with leading telematics platforms such as Samsara, Geotab, Trimble, Platform Science, Omnitracs, and OEM-native systems like Virtual Vehicle and CoPilot, Doran ensures that tire health data flows directly into the systems operations managers already trust.

The mission hasn’t changed.

The environment hasn’t gotten easier.

The technology has become smarter.


Why 25 Years Matters

Twenty-five years in the tire monitoring sector signals something important:

It means Doran didn’t enter the space during a trend cycle.
It helped shape it.

And in heavy-duty industries, experience matters.

Fleet leaders don’t gamble on unproven systems. They invest in reliability especially when uptime, safety, and asset performance are on the line.


Built on History. Focused on the Future.

As Doran celebrates 25 years in tire monitoring systems, the focus remains forward-looking.

Fleet technology continues to evolve.
Data expectations are rising.
Harsh operating environments aren’t getting any easier.

But the fundamentals remain the same:

Seventy-three years in business.
Twenty-five years in tire monitoring. And the same commitment that started it all:
A company founded on people and trust delivering durable solutions for commercial vehicles and equipment that can’t afford failure.
