It serves four primary customer segments: OEM manufacturers needing casters integrated into their equipment, distributor and wholesale resellers, MRO operations requiring replacement parts, and retail/consumer buyers seeking wheels for lawn mowers, hand trucks, carts, wheelbarrows, wagons, generators, and tool boxes. It also offers custom manufacturing and engineering services for OEM, distributor, and wholesale accounts.
