CARDONE INDUSTRIES, INC. is a business corporation formed in Pennsylvania on 7 June 1973 (Pennsylvania entity number 56449, as recorded by GLEIF) and authorised to do business in New York as a foreign business corporation since 28 September 2017 under NY Department of State ID 5209855. It is a Philadelphia-based remanufacturer and supplier of aftermarket automotive parts, with its principal office at 5501 Whitaker Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19124.

Cardone Industries, Inc. remanufactures and sells replacement parts for cars and light trucks. Its website lists brake system parts (ABS modules, brake boosters, calipers), drivetrain parts (CV axles, driveshafts, transfer-case motors) and electronic control modules. The company describes its origin as a storefront in North Philadelphia that opened in 1970 to remanufacture windshield wiper motors. Securities filings from 2021 to 2023 describe it as a U.S. automotive aftermarket parts remanufacturer selling to OEMs, warehouse distributors, fleets and retailers. Court filings from 2025 list Cardone as a braking-products brand.

Registration and status

The New York record lists the jurisdiction as Pennsylvania, gives the home-state incorporation date as 6/7/1973, and shows biennial statements filed in 2019, 2021, 2023 and 2 September 2025. The Texas Comptroller lists a Pennsylvania-formed corporation of this name, registered in Texas on 4 November 1983 (SOS file 0006009106). Its Texas franchise-tax right to transact has ended, and its last report year there is 2021. The LEI 549300RFKUIS3OHRGO04 has registration status RETIRED and entity status INACTIVE (last updated 24 December 2024). Pennsylvania entity 56449 does not appear in the Pennsylvania Department of State’s open dataset of active registrations, retrieved 27 October 2026. Control companies (Comcast Corporation, The Hershey Company, Airgas, Inc.) were found in the same query.

A debtor named Cardone Industries, Inc. filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas on 29 September 2025 (Case No. 25-90493). Its case is jointly administered under lead case No. 25-90399. In a motion filed on 23 March 2026, the debtors said they had begun winding down certain North American businesses, including all facilities of the brakes businesses, which they defined to include Cardone Industries, Inc. On 1 September 2026 the court converted the case to Chapter 7 (liquidation), after denying confirmation of the proposed plan at a hearing on 24 August 2026. The lead petition lists this debtor with an employer identification number of 23-3000982 and labels it a Delaware entity. The Texas record for the Pennsylvania corporation gives a different federal employer number (23-1916269). Free primary sources do not confirm that the debtor and the Pennsylvania corporation of NY DOS ID 5209855 are the same legal person. Both filings are reported here as filed.

Shareholders

Shareholders of CARDONE INDUSTRIES, INC.

Cardone Industries, Inc. is a private corporation. Pennsylvania and New York do not publish shareholder registers for business corporations, so this ownership history comes from securities and bankruptcy filings.

Brookfield period (2019–2023). Brookfield Business Partners L.P. reported that in April 2019, together with institutional partners, it recapitalized Cardone Industries for $195 million. The partnership acquired an 85% controlling interest, of which its own share was 35%, for approximately $80 million (including a prior investment valued at $33 million). The partnership’s Form 20-F for 2021 lists Cardone Industries Inc. (United States) among its non-wholly owned subsidiaries. It shows a 98% voting interest and a 52% economic interest at 31 December 2021 and 2020. On 3 July 2023 the partnership completed the sale of a majority of its automotive aftermarket parts remanufacturing operations. It recorded a $41 million gain and did not name the buyer in the filings reviewed. Its 2025 results record a $35 million write-down of an earn-out from that sale.

First Brands period (from 2023). In the September 2025 Chapter 11 filings, a debtor named Cardone Industries, Inc. (Case No. 25-90493) is one of the First Brands debtors. The consolidated corporate ownership statement says First Brands Group Holdings, LLC owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the remaining debtors other than the Viceroy debtors. The same petition lists Cardone Holdco LP, c/o Brookfield, as an unsecured creditor holding a $7,000,000 “revenue payout liability”. The bankruptcy filings record the debtor’s employer identification number and state of formation differently from the Pennsylvania corporation’s records (see the company description). As a result, this chain is stated for the debtor as filed.

Ultimate beneficial ownership

The first-day declaration (29 September 2025) says that each of the 112 debtor entities is 100% indirectly owned by the company’s founder and sole equity holder. A stipulation filed on 2 October 2025 names the equity holders of First Brands Group Holdings, LLC as Patrick James, Mayfair Enterprises, LLC, Aztec Corporation and Brake Parts Holdings, Inc. It states that Patrick James directly owns all of the equity interests in the other equity holders. The petition gives the holdings in First Brands Group Holdings, LLC as 66% Viceroy Private Capital, LLC (wholly owned by Mayfair Enterprises, LLC), 33% Brake Parts Holdings, Inc. and 1% Aztec Corporation. Since 1 September 2026 the debtor’s estate has been administered in Chapter 7. These ownership statements describe the position at the petition date.

Data availability

Partial. The Brookfield-era percentages come from the partnership’s own filings. The First Brands-era percentages come from the debtors’ court filings, and no later ownership statement was found. U.S. state registers do not publish shareholders of private corporations.

Officers

Directors and officers of CARDONE INDUSTRIES, INC.

No free register reviewed gives a complete, dated list of the directors of Cardone Industries, Inc. The New York Department of State’s active-corporation record for DOS ID 5209855 names Stanley Gowisnock as the corporation’s chief executive officer. The latest biennial statement there was filed on 2 September 2025. The dataset does not give an appointment date.

The Texas Comptroller’s franchise-tax record (report year 2021, sourced from the Texas Secretary of State) lists these officers: Michael Carr (CEO), Margaret Perrer (CFO), Jessica Cicale (Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary) and George Dunham (Vice President). These are 2021 entries and should be read as historical. No later Texas report was found.

Since the Chapter 7 conversion of 1 September 2026, the debtor’s estate in Case No. 25-90493 has been administered by a court-appointed trustee, not by its own officers.

Recent officer changes

1 September 2026: Eva S. Engelhart was appointed interim Chapter 7 trustee in Case No. 25-90493 when the case was converted to Chapter 7 (docket notice of appointment of trustee, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, S.D. Texas).

Data availability

Partial and partly historical. Pennsylvania’s open data did not return a current record for entity 56449, and the New York record shows only the chief executive officer. The Texas list dates from 2021. Nationality and country of residence are not disclosed in any of these sources.

Can I access CARDONE INDUSTRIES, INC.'s data through an API?

Yes. Zavia's API connects directly to official government ownership registries across 195 countries and territories, including United States, so records like CARDONE INDUSTRIES, INC.'s registration, shareholder, UBO, and group-structure data can be queried programmatically instead of viewed one page at a time.

Where does this company information come from, and how current is it?

Checked against the New York Department of State and Pennsylvania open data, the Texas Comptroller, GLEIF, Brookfield Business Partners' SEC filings and the First Brands bankruptcy court filings on 27 October 2026.
