COMPANY OVERVIEW

Custom Engineered Wheels (CEW) is a manufacturing company with headquarters located in Baldwyn, Mississippi that has a support manufacturing site in Reynosa, Mexico. CEW focuses on bringing customer product solutions to OEMs.

This is currently achieved by internal manufacturing processes comprising of Thermoplastic Injection Molding, Lost Core Injection Molding and Polyurethane Spin Cast Molding. Currently the majority of CEW sales are in the Lawn & Garden business segment with the Medical, Industrial and Bicycle markets also being supported. While Lawn & Garden is and will always be a major part of our business with opportunities for continued growth, CEW is looking to expand our sales volume into other markets to improve our market and customer diversification.

As part of that strategy for growth outside of Lawn & Garden, CEW has identified the need to supplement our management team by adding the position of Accounts Payable Clerk to focus on that specific effort.
