For 40 years, Crescent Industries has remained proudly independent in a collision repair industry that has changed dramatically. Founded in 1986 by Zubair Siddiqui, known to most simply as Zuby, the company has grown by focusing on relationships, consistency and doing right by its customers.
In an upcoming issue, Collision Repair magazine will mark Crescent Industries’ 40th anniversary. We’re inviting readers to help us celebrate the milestone — and the person behind it.
Zuby has spent four decades staying accessible and accountable in an industry where that’s becoming increasingly rare. Materials changed. Vehicles changed. Repair complexity increased. What stayed consistent was a commitment to transparency and support for the shops he serves.
We want to hear from you.
If you’ve worked with Crescent Industries or with Zuby over the years — as a shop owner, technician, supplier, partner or colleague — please consider sharing:
- Photos (shop visits, trade shows, events or candid moments)
- Short stories or memories
- Congratulatory notes or accolades
- Brief quotes about Crescent or Zuby’s impact
Maybe it was a straight answer when you needed one.
Maybe it was reliability, year after year.
Maybe it was simply knowing someone had your back.
Crescent Industries was built one relationship at a time, and this anniversary is about recognizing those relationships as much as the years behind them.
Selected submissions will be featured in upcoming newsletters and online coverage as part of our Crescent Industries 40th-anniversary celebration.
