New Jeeps to Use Superior Wheels

Superior Industries International, Inc has announced that it has been awarded four new aluminium wheel contracts for the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models.

“Not only do these volume wheel programmes represent significant incremental business for Superior Industries, they are Superior’s first ever Jeep nameplate contracts. These awards are further evidence of the strong relationship we continue to build with the Chrysler Group,” said president and chief operating officer, Steven Borick.

Mr Borick added, “Chrysler Group gave us an opportunity to show them what we could do in a short period of time and we ran with it. I am proud of our team’s performance on these programmes and honoured to have Superior as part of the storied Jeep vehicle nameplate.”

Superior will produce two designs each for the 2005 models. Production shipments are scheduled to commence shortly.
