See the floor your parts are made on

Most overseas suppliers show you a rendering and a certificate. These are our own buildings, our own machines and our own people, photographed on an ordinary production day.

01 — Metal forming

Cutting, stamping and pressing

Laser cutting, progressive stamping and brake work run on our own presses, with dies cut in the tool room a few steps away.

02 — Rubber & tire

Compound mixed, corded, cured and trimmed here

The part of the wheel most suppliers buy in is the part we make ourselves — which is why tread life and sidewall stiffness stay consistent between runs.

How a wheel moves through the plant

01

Steel & compound

Coil steel arrives for rims; rubber is mixed to our formulation in the same week the order is scheduled.

02

Stamp & form

Rim halves stamped on our dies, hubs punched and formed, frames cut and bent.

03

Weld & coat

Jig welded, pretreated and powder coated on our own line in your colour.

04

Tire & assemble

Tires cured or PU injected, bearings pressed, wheel mounted and torqued.

05

Inspect & load

AQL sampling, retail packing to your artwork, then FCL or LCL loading.

05 — Video walkthrough

A walk through the plant, end to end

A walk from the steel rack to the loading dock, with no cuts around the parts of a factory that usually get edited out.
