Schroeder Acquires Dayton Wheel Products Inc.

Dayton Wheel Products, the manufacturer of wire wheels in Centerville, Ohio, has been acquired by Charles G. Schroeder. This is only the third time the business has changed ownership in its 85 year history.

The company recently launched a range of alloy wheels, but Schroeder says that Dayton wire wheels have a discerning customer with whom quality will always count – over 80 per cent of customers in the USA ask for Dayton wire wheels by name. The new owner plans to develop the business by concentrating on quality products and capitalising on the loyalty and enthusiasm of his workforce. The company employs 43 people.
