American Racing Equipment has acquired substantially all of the assets of Weld Wheel Industries Inc., a forged wheel maker that recently declared bankruptcy.
According to American Racing, Weld’s operations will be integrated with American Racing and will continue manufacturing wheels under the Weld brand.
“Weld Wheels [brands] are among the most well known brands in the aftermarket and race wheel industries, and Weld Wheel Industries and the Weld Racing brand are vital additions to the American Racing family of products,” said Bob Swelgin, president and CEO of American Racing Equipment. “We are committed to ensuring the financial and operational stability of Weld and providing customers with the highest level of service and quality products.”
