Promar Engine's mission statement is to deliver quality, guarantee customer service, and remain committed to standards of excellence, ensuring a great product at a fair price.
When our company opened on October 1st 1993, our mission statement became a way of life for us. Our passion for performance enabled the company to offer a nationwide 3 year unlimited mileage warranty unheard of in the industry. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so when some companies followed suit, we knew we had set a benchmark for excellence and customer service. By 1994 Promar Engines had grown to 72 employees. That same year New Jersey Business News Magazine named Promar Engines one of its top 25 fastest growing companies in New Jersey.
The PERA has awarded Promar Engines "Engine Rebuilder of the Year 2003". We take great pride in participating with organizations such as: The BBB, AERA, PERA, AAIA, AJE, AJA and APRA.

As the saying goes "you have to recognize a problem before you can fix it". So in the not too distant past...1993 Mark Fellanto, a master automotive machinist and engine builder since 1974, successfully created new standards in engine remanufacturing. It seemed that innovative thinking, product excellence and customer service was at a stand still. So having recognized "the problem", Mark set out to fix it.
Realizing his own product was the answer, Promar Engines commenced operation out of a 5,000 square foot facility in Paterson, New Jersey. The business plan seemed simple. The demand for a higher quality product and better customer service was already there. Given Promar's goals within the industry, growth was inevitable. Promar's reputation for excellence helped staff the company with the best machinists and assemblers available.
Early 1995, now a major force in the remanufacturing industry, Promar becomes an influential member of the Production Engine Remanufacturers Association (PERA) and other trade organizations, while being the first remanufacturer to offer a three year unlimited mileage warranty.
Mid 1996 Promar enjoys further growth and increases its production and sales staff as well as its manufacturing floor to 13,500 square feet. Employing its own fleet of delivery vehicles, the company continues its commitment to quality and service. By keeping current with factory updates and using state of the art equipment, Promar utilizes research and development techniques to insure improved product quality.
1998 brought Promar recognition, first from the New Jersey Business News publication, citing the company as one of the state's top 25 fastest growing companies, and awards from city and state councils acknowledging the company's involvement in employment opportunities.
2001 Promar recognized a nationwide resurgence of classic car restoration. With representatives at many classic and custom shows, and through trophy sponsorship, Promar is able to educate the auto enthusiast how to apply Promar's 21st century technology into their special piece of automotive history.
In 2003, Mark Fellanto is voted onto the executive board of directors of the PERA. Further honors included the naming of Promar Engine as the "remanufacturer of the year", so it is no surprise that the PERA selected Mark Fellanto as their president of the PERA for the years 2006-2008.
In 2018, Mark Fellanto is voted onto the executive board of directors of the Engine Builders Association (AERA). Mark was named chairman of the AERA in 2022.
