\n\nNEW HAMPTON, IA—Zip’s Truck Equipment is proud to announce the addition of Kevin Andera to its equipment sales team, reinforcing the company’s ongoing commitment to delivering expert, relationship-driven service to customers across Wisconsin.
\nThis strategic hire reflects Zip’s belief that investing in the best people in the industry is just as critical as investing in the equipment it builds. Offering a rare blend of hands-on mechanical aptitude and proven sales expertise, Kevin brings a level of practical knowledge that ensures customers receive more than a truck. They also gain a trusted partner who will learn and understand their business and match the equipment which fits their operation best.
\nKevin’s background as a mechanic definitely gives him an in-depth understanding of the “nuts and bolts” behind the equipment he now represents. That technical foundation allows him to consult with customers from a real-world perspective, helping operators select solutions that fit their applications, budgets and long-term operational goals. Combined with years of professional sales experience, Kevin is uniquely positioned to support Wisconsin customers with honest guidance and accountability.
\n“Kevin is going to be a great fit for our company,” said Eric Albertson, Executive Director of Equipment Sales at Zip’s. “He brings over 15 years of customer service experience and five years in sales. He also has a strong mechanical background, and I believe he’ll pick up the towing and equipment side of the business very quickly. Kevin is a hunter and fisherman in his spare time, which makes him a natural fit with many of our Wisconsin core customers that we’ve proudly been serving for over 50 years. We’re excited to have him on board and look forward to watching him grow with the team.”
\nA family-oriented father of three boys, Kevin said he understands the values that matter most to the customers he will now serve. As an avid outdoorsman, he shares the same “work hard, play hard” mentality common among operators throughout the Wisconsin region. That relatability will allow him to connect naturally with customers, earning trust through shared experiences and a genuine understanding of local needs.
\nBy placing a dedicated, down-to-earth expert in the Wisconsin territory, Zip’s is reaffirming its long-term commitment to the region. Kevin’s presence ensures customers have direct access to a knowledgeable sales representative who understands their equipment, their businesses and the communities they operate in.
\nFor more information or to connect with Kevin Andera, please reach him at Zip’s at 800-222-6047, extension 252, or his cell phone at 641-229-0899.

\n\nFour years later, I still attend multiple tow and recovery trade shows every year and occasionally still get that same confused look. But for those of us in the business, the American Towman Show in Baltimore is anything but confusing. It’s one of the biggest, most anticipated events in the towing and recovery circuit and for good reason.
\nThe American Towman Exposition isn’t just another trade show. It’s the gathering point for the towing industry, bringing together thousands of professionals, suppliers, and manufacturers from across North America and beyond. I’ve met vendors from China, Norway, Japan, France, and Spain.
\nThe city itself comes alive during show weekend. Whether you’re strolling the waterfront at Fell’s Point or riding the bull at PBR, Baltimore has an energy that makes this event even more memorable.
\nThis show blends community and business perfectly. You can shake hands with suppliers, see the newest equipment innovations, and connect with people who understand what it means to run a 24/7 business where safety and service go hand in hand.
\nYou’ll find top manufacturers, parts suppliers, software innovators, and service providers all under one roof. From custom rotators to new dispatch and billing technology, the American Towman Exposition exhibitor list showcases the trends shaping the towing industry in 2025.
\nExpect to see:
\nCompanies use this show to launch new products, announce partnerships, and highlight impressive customer builds. The booths alone are worth the visit, some of the best displays in the business.

In addition to dozens of rows of vendors, you’ll find a wrecker pageant, business seminars, hands-on training sessions, and industry awards. The training programs are led by some of the best in the field, covering everything from heavy-duty recovery techniques to roadside service demonstrations.
\nThe business-focused sessions dive into:
\nMany people outside the industry are surprised by the level of education and professionalism on display here. The towing world takes safety, compliance, and growth seriously.
\nLooking ahead to this year’s event, expect a strong focus on:
\nThe changing economy and rising operating costs will also be major discussion points. Business owners are looking for ways to stay profitable while continuing to serve their communities safely.
\nThis year, I’ll be teaching my first seminar at the American Towman Show, taking place Friday, November 21st at 9 a.m. It’s a session on how towing professionals can use social media to raise awareness of the essential work this industry does and bring more eyes to their businesses. I couldn’t be more excited to contribute to a show that’s given me so much.
\nBecause towing is a service-based industry, attending the show means leaving your business running without you. Walk through the Baltimore Tow Show floor, and you’ll see people in branded polos, Bluetooth headsets in, phones ringing constantly. They’re running operations between booths and taking calls in real time.
\nThese owners and operators make the trip because they see the value: learning, networking, and discovering innovations that will shape the year ahead.
\nAnd, of course, there’s the fun side legendary networking events like vendor appreciation nights, cigar socials, skeet shooting, and the annual pig roast. It’s the perfect mix of business and celebration.

Preparation begins the moment the previous show ends. Once the last booth is packed, planning starts for next year booth placement, travel, logistics, and budgets. The best spaces go fast, and many exhibitors reserve their location nearly a year in advance.
\nMonths before the show, logistics kick into gear: flights, hotels, booth shipments, and staffing. Anyone who’s attended knows that rooms sell out quickly once the Baltimore Tow Show schedule is released.
\nAt Zip’s, we bring dozens of employees and plan every detail down to the smallest bolt. We transport hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of equipment rotators, flatbeds, service trucks, and more from New Hampton, Iowa, to Baltimore.
\nIf it’s your first time attending, here are a few lessons I’ve learned:
\nIf you’re planning your route through the 2025 Baltimore Tow Show, make sure to stop by the Zip’s booth. We’ll be showcasing some of the year’s most exciting towing equipment and safety innovations.
\nFeatured products include:
\nExpect hands-on demos, expert advice, and a few surprises. Whether you’re comparing products, learning about new tech, or just talking shop, our team will be there all weekend.

The American Towman Show in Baltimore 2025 isn’t just about trucks and tools, it's about the people behind them. It’s about showing up for an industry that works hard, adapts fast, and looks out for one another.
\nEvery year, I leave Baltimore with new ideas, stronger relationships, and a deeper appreciation for this community.
\nSo yes, I’ll be back this year and no, it’s still not about feet.

\nThis year, I’ll be teaching my first seminar at the American Towman Show, taking place Friday, November 21st at 9 a.m. It’s a session on how towing professionals can use social media to raise awareness of the essential work this industry does and bring more eyes to their businesses. I couldn’t be more excited to contribute to a show that’s given me so much.
\nBecause towing is a service-based industry, attending the show means leaving your business running without you. Walk through the Baltimore Tow Show floor, and you’ll see people in branded polos, Bluetooth headsets in, phones ringing constantly. They’re running operations between booths and taking calls in real time.
\nThese owners and operators make the trip because they see the value: learning, networking, and discovering innovations that will shape the year ahead.
\nAnd, of course, there’s the fun side legendary networking events like vendor appreciation nights, cigar socials, skeet shooting, and the annual pig roast. It’s the perfect mix of business and celebration.
\n
Preparation begins the moment the previous show ends. Once the last booth is packed, planning starts for next year booth placement, travel, logistics, and budgets. The best spaces go fast, and many exhibitors reserve their location nearly a year in advance.
\nMonths before the show, logistics kick into gear: flights, hotels, booth shipments, and staffing. Anyone who’s attended knows that rooms sell out quickly once the Baltimore Tow Show schedule is released.
\nAt Zip’s, we bring dozens of employees and plan every detail down to the smallest bolt. We transport hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of equipment rotators, flatbeds, service trucks, and more from New Hampton, Iowa, to Baltimore.
\nIf it’s your first time attending, here are a few lessons I’ve learned:
\nIf you’re planning your route through the 2025 Baltimore Tow Show, make sure to stop by the Zip’s booth. We’ll be showcasing some of the year’s most exciting towing equipment and safety innovations.
\nFeatured products include:
\nExpect hands-on demos, expert advice, and a few surprises. Whether you’re comparing products, learning about new tech, or just talking shop, our team will be there all weekend.
\n
The American Towman Show in Baltimore 2025 isn’t just about trucks and tools, it's about the people behind them. It’s about showing up for an industry that works hard, adapts fast, and looks out for one another.
\nEvery year, I leave Baltimore with new ideas, stronger relationships, and a deeper appreciation for this community.
\nSo yes, I’ll be back this year and no, it’s still not about feet.

\n\nFour years later, I still attend multiple tow and recovery trade shows every year and occasionally still get that same confused look. But for those of us in the business, the American Towman Show in Baltimore is anything but confusing. It’s one of the biggest, most anticipated events in the towing and recovery circuit and for good reason.
\nThe American Towman Exposition isn’t just another trade show. It’s the gathering point for the towing industry, bringing together thousands of professionals, suppliers, and manufacturers from across North America and beyond. I’ve met vendors from China, Norway, Japan, France, and Spain.
\nThe city itself comes alive during show weekend. Whether you’re strolling the waterfront at Fell’s Point or riding the bull at PBR, Baltimore has an energy that makes this event even more memorable.
\nThis show blends community and business perfectly. You can shake hands with suppliers, see the newest equipment innovations, and connect with people who understand what it means to run a 24/7 business where safety and service go hand in hand.
\nYou’ll find top manufacturers, parts suppliers, software innovators, and service providers all under one roof. From custom rotators to new dispatch and billing technology, the American Towman Exposition exhibitor list showcases the trends shaping the towing industry in 2025.
\nExpect to see:
\nCompanies use this show to launch new products, announce partnerships, and highlight impressive customer builds. The booths alone are worth the visit, some of the best displays in the business.
\n
In addition to dozens of rows of vendors, you’ll find a wrecker pageant, business seminars, hands-on training sessions, and industry awards. The training programs are led by some of the best in the field, covering everything from heavy-duty recovery techniques to roadside service demonstrations.

There’s a quote by Ken Griffey Jr. which has always stuck with me:
“Just because I made it look easy doesn’t mean that it was.”
This quote applies to many situations, but especially to the towing and recovery industry. From the outside, it may seem simple: big trucks, a few straps, and some elbow grease. It looks like a straightforward job. The reality is very different. Even routine tows require calculations, safety protocols, and deep operational knowledge. What the public sees is only a small part of the work. Behind the scenes, every move can impact time, cost, safety, and lives.

\nDave Shambaugh of Shambaugh’s Towing in Titusville, PA
\nAs I’ve learned more about the complexity of this industry, my desire to experience hands-on training has only grown. Fortunately, there are several outstanding organizations offering high-quality instruction. WreckMaster, ERSCA, and the American Towing and Recovery Institute are just a few of the groups that have committed themselves to improving standards across the industry through education and leadership.
\nSo when I had the chance to complete a WreckMaster course, I didn’t hesitate. Their trainers are always extremely articulate, patient, professional, and sharply dressed. They also happen to be some of the most experienced operators in the field. The training was hosted at Abrams Towing, a company I’ve worked with for years and deeply respect which made the experience even more meaningful.

\nOur instructor Dave Shambaugh and I, our course material, composite toe boots and our equipment
\nWe began in the classroom, but this was not a typical lecture. Dave Shambaugh of Shambaugh’s Towing in Titusville, PA, led our instruction. My classmates included staff from all areas of Abrams: safety and compliance, accounting, light-duty and heavy-duty operators, and several mechanics. Some had been towing for years and were there to refresh their skills. Others, like me, had been part of the industry for a long time but mostly from behind a desk.
\nOver the course of the first day, we focused on the essential inputs that go into nearly every recovery. Safety came first. We covered pre-shift equipment inspections, proper uniforms, and securing roadside scenes. Each detail matters. Every habit, every checklist, and every piece of preparation is critical when working next to live lines of traffic.
\nWe then dove into the math. This was not just theory. It was real-world problem-solving. We worked through towing capacity, force calculations for moving or flipping vehicles, and the science behind anchor points. Everyone pulled out their calculators and notebooks, solving problems on paper that directly apply in the field.
\nWe also spent time understanding the tools themselves. We reviewed hooks, chains, winches, and straps. Knowing the working load limits of your gear is essential. But it goes deeper than that. We explored the differences between wire rope and fiber core, when to use one tool instead of another, and how each decision can affect both performance and safety. This part of the training really emphasized that it is not enough to own the right equipment. You have to understand how and why to use it.
\nThe second day was held outdoors, and we were fortunate to have perfect weather. Wearing safety boots, high visibility vests, and gloves tucked into our pockets, we got to work.
\nWe began with traditional wreckers and flatbeds, walking through loading and unloading procedures. I had the chance to operate the flatbed controls, balancing winch speed with the angle of the bed to slowly and safely unload a vehicle. It was a reminder of how much finesse and control is required, especially when you’re managing risk on busy roadways.

\nThen we pulled out the forklift and flipped a car onto its roof. We used only the tools we would have on the side of the road. A winch, snatch blocks, and chains were all we needed to get the job done. The setup took time, planning, and communication. I tried to imagine doing the same task in the rain or snow with traffic flying past, and it gave me a new level of respect for the professionals who handle these scenes every day.

\nWorking with Leon to flip a car back over
\nOur final challenge was the most demanding. We had to flip a box truck onto its side and then return it safely to its wheels. This required full team coordination. Line angles had to be exact. Strap placement had to be deliberate. Vehicle position was crucial. Every small detail made a difference.
\nWe took our time getting everything in position. As the straps tightened and the tension increased, the entire group went quiet. We held our breath. Then, in a clean, smooth movement, the truck rolled back onto its wheels. It worked exactly as we had planned. No mistakes. No shortcuts. Just well-trained people using good communication and solid fundamentals.
\nAfter the exercise, we cleaned up the yard. Chains, straps, snatch blocks, dollies, and every tool we used were packed away properly. My shirt was soaked in sweat and stained with grease.

\nWorking with Leon to flip a car back over
\nTowing is not just a job. It is not just a hook and some chains. It is planning, math, communication, and physical strength. It requires endurance and constant situational awareness. There are no easy days in this work, even if the people doing it make it look that way.
\nWhat we see from the outside is rarely the full picture. Behind every quick recovery is a long list of decisions, calculations, and careful movements. The people doing this work are not just drivers. They are problem-solvers and safety professionals.

“Just because I made it look easy doesn’t mean that it was.”
There’s a quote by Ken Griffey Jr. which has always stuck with me:
“Just because I made it look easy doesn’t mean that it was.”
This quote applies to many situations, but especially to the towing and recovery industry. From the outside, it may seem simple: big trucks, a few straps, and some elbow grease. It looks like a straightforward job. The reality is very different. Even routine tows require calculations, safety protocols, and deep operational knowledge. What the public sees is only a small part of the work. Behind the scenes, every move can impact time, cost, safety, and lives.
\n\nDave Shambaugh of Shambaugh’s Towing in Titusville, PA
\nAs I’ve learned more about the complexity of this industry, my desire to experience hands-on training has only grown. Fortunately, there are several outstanding organizations offering high-quality instruction. WreckMaster, ERSCA, and the American Towing and Recovery Institute are just a few of the groups that have committed themselves to improving standards across the industry through education and leadership.
\nSo when I had the chance to complete a WreckMaster course, I didn’t hesitate. Their trainers are always extremely articulate, patient, professional, and sharply dressed. They also happen to be some of the most experienced operators in the field. The training was hosted at Abrams Towing, a company I’ve worked with for years and deeply respect which made the experience even more meaningful.
\n\nOur instructor Dave Shambaugh and I, our course material, composite toe boots and our equipment
\nWe began in the classroom, but this was not a typical lecture. Dave Shambaugh of Shambaugh’s Towing in Titusville, PA, led our instruction. My classmates included staff from all areas of Abrams: safety and compliance, accounting, light-duty and heavy-duty operators, and several mechanics. Some had been towing for years and were there to refresh their skills. Others, like me, had been part of the industry for a long time but mostly from behind a desk.
\nOver the course of the first day, we focused on the essential inputs that go into nearly every recovery. Safety came first. We covered pre-shift equipment inspections, proper uniforms, and securing roadside scenes. Each detail matters. Every habit, every checklist, and every piece of preparation is critical when working next to live lines of traffic.
\nWe then dove into the math. This was not just theory. It was real-world problem-solving. We worked through towing capacity, force calculations for moving or flipping vehicles, and the science behind anchor points. Everyone pulled out their calculators and notebooks, solving problems on paper that directly apply in the field.
\nWe also spent time understanding the tools themselves. We reviewed hooks, chains, winches, and straps. Knowing the working load limits of your gear is essential. But it goes deeper than that.

WreckMaster, ERSCA, and the American Towing and Recovery Institute are just a few of the groups that have committed themselves to improving standards across the industry through education and leadership.
\nSo when I had the chance to complete a WreckMaster course, I didn’t hesitate. Their trainers are always extremely articulate, patient, professional, and sharply dressed. They also happen to be some of the most experienced operators in the field. The training was hosted at Abrams Towing, a company I’ve worked with for years and deeply respect which made the experience even more meaningful.
\n\nOur instructor Dave Shambaugh and I, our course material, composite toe boots and our equipment
\nWe began in the classroom, but this was not a typical lecture. Dave Shambaugh of Shambaugh’s Towing in Titusville, PA, led our instruction. My classmates included staff from all areas of Abrams: safety and compliance, accounting, light-duty and heavy-duty operators, and several mechanics. Some had been towing for years and were there to refresh their skills. Others, like me, had been part of the industry for a long time but mostly from behind a desk.
\nOver the course of the first day, we focused on the essential inputs that go into nearly every recovery. Safety came first. We covered pre-shift equipment inspections, proper uniforms, and securing roadside scenes. Each detail matters. Every habit, every checklist, and every piece of preparation is critical when working next to live lines of traffic.
\nWe then dove into the math. This was not just theory. It was real-world problem-solving. We worked through towing capacity, force calculations for moving or flipping vehicles, and the science behind anchor points. Everyone pulled out their calculators and notebooks, solving problems on paper that directly apply in the field.
\nWe also spent time understanding the tools themselves. We reviewed hooks, chains, winches, and straps. Knowing the working load limits of your gear is essential. But it goes deeper than that. We explored the differences between wire rope and fiber core, when to use one tool instead of another, and how each decision can affect both performance and safety. This part of the training really emphasized that it is not enough to own the right equipment. You have to understand how and why to use it.
\nThe second day was held outdoors, and we were fortunate to have perfect weather. Wearing safety boots, high visibility vests, and gloves tucked into our pockets, we got to work.
\nWe began with traditional wreckers and flatbeds, walking through loading and unloading procedures. I had the chance to operate the flatbed controls, balancing winch speed with the angle of the bed to slowly and safely unload a vehicle. It was a reminder of how much finesse and control is required, especially when you’re managing risk on busy roadways.
\n\nUnloading a vehicle from a flatbed tow truck
\nThen we pulled out the forklift and flipped a car onto its roof. We used only the tools we would have on the side of the road. A winch, snatch blocks, and chains were all we needed to get the job done. The setup took time, planning, and communication. I tried to imagine doing the same task in the rain or snow with traffic flying past, and it gave me a new level of respect for the professionals who handle these scenes every day.
\nLater, we worked with dollies, practiced proper strapping techniques, and focused on calculated, precise movements. Safety never happens by accident. Every step was intentional. Every setup was reviewed and executed with care.
\n\nWorking with Leon to flip a car back over
\nOur final challenge was the most demanding. We had to flip a box truck onto its side and then return it safely to its wheels. This required full team coordination. Line angles had to be exact. Strap placement had to be deliberate. Vehicle position was crucial. Every small detail made a difference.
\nWe took our time getting everything in position. As the straps tightened and the tension increased, the entire group went quiet. We held our breath. Then, in a clean, smooth movement, the truck rolled back onto its wheels. It worked exactly as we had planned. No mistakes. No shortcuts. Just well-trained people using good communication and solid fundamentals.
\nAfter the exercise, we cleaned up the yard. Chains, straps, snatch blocks, dollies, and every tool we used were packed away properly. My shirt was soaked in sweat and stained with grease. My pants were covered in dust. My arms and neck were sunburned, and my hands were sore from the weight of the chains. But I felt proud. It was exhausting, but it was also incredibly rewarding.
\nThis training wasn’t just about technique. It was a reminder of the physical, mental, and emotional effort that goes into every recovery. I left with even more respect for the men and women who do this work every day.
\n\nWorking with Leon to flip a car back over
\nTowing is not just a job. It is not just a hook and some chains. It is planning, math, communication, and physical strength. It requires endurance and constant situational awareness. There are no easy days in this work, even if the people doing it make it look that way.
\nWhat we see from the outside is rarely the full picture. Behind every quick recovery is a long list of decisions, calculations, and careful movements. The people doing this work are not just drivers. They are problem-solvers and safety professionals.
\nTo everyone out there working the roadways, doing things the right way, and taking pride in your craft, thank you. You make it look easy, even though most of the time it is not.

This is achieved through seamless integration with the Waze app, which has over 150 million users. Motorists receive real-time alerts via their smartphone or dashboard display, helping them react accordingly.
For added visibility and direction, the SafeAll Ping can also be paired with the SafeAll Traffic Commander, which provides motorists with clear, illuminated instructions such as “SLOW DOWN” or “MOVE LEFT”, in addition to the advance warning—further enhancing roadside safety.
Reinforcing Zip’s commitment to accessible and advanced safety solutions, the SafeAll Ping system will now be seamlessly integrated into the base price of all Zip’s Choice and Zip’s Custom-Built units. Once equipped, users will enjoy unlimited access to the system - completely eliminating ongoing costs while ensuring continuous, reliable protection on the road.
David Rottinghaus, Executive Vice President at Zip’s AW Direct, emphasizes the company's commitment to roadside safety. \"Zip’s has always been a strong advocate for roadside safety, and the Ping provides an extra layer of protection for our customers.\" He also highlights the product's flexibility. \"With a one-time purchase, the Ping can be easily transferred between vehicles, giving you complete control over your safety measures whenever and wherever you need them.\"

NEW HAMPTON, Iowa–Zip’s AW Direct, a leading distributor of trucks, parts and accessories to the Towing and Recovery market, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Georgia-based GUNI products, a global manufacturer of universal vehicle repositioning wheels. The deal was made official in November of 2024.
\n“We are excited to bring this innovative line of products under the Zip’s family umbrella,” said David Rottinghaus, executive vice president at Zip’s Aw Direct. “We first learned of their unique products five years ago and have been promoting, marketing and distributing them ever since. We’re a big fan of GUNI, and this acquisition certainly aligns with our goals as a company to deliver the best and latest products to our customers.”
\nLed by the flagship GUNI Wheel, the GUNI family of products includes temporary repositioning wheels for all makes and models of passenger cars and trucks. What makes them universal are the slotted mounting holes for 4/5, 5/6, 8 and 6x120 lug bolt patterns. Their narrow profile allows for easy maneuverability on the road or in the shop, and the airless, molded tread works perfect for long-term storage for collector cars, recreational vehicles and impound vehicles.
\nIn recent years, the GUNI line has expanded to include the GUNI Wheel 45S and the GUNI Wheel X, both of which offer deeper offsets to work around large aftermarket brake calipers. Lately, the GUNI Wheel X has revolutionized the vehicle repositioning industry by offering interchangeable hub inserts and a rolling spinner option in one convenient platform. This space-saving design makes it a favorite among towing companies, auto repair shops and auto body and restoration specialists.

\n“We are excited to bring this innovative line of products under the Zip’s family umbrella,” said David Rottinghaus, executive vice president at Zip’s Aw Direct. “We first learned of their unique products five years ago and have been promoting, marketing and distributing them ever since. We’re a big fan of GUNI, and this acquisition certainly aligns with our goals as a company to deliver the best and latest products to our customers.”
\nLed by the flagship GUNI Wheel, the GUNI family of products includes temporary repositioning wheels for all makes and models of passenger cars and trucks. What makes them universal are the slotted mounting holes for 4/5, 5/6, 8 and 6x120 lug bolt patterns. Their narrow profile allows for easy maneuverability on the road or in the shop, and the airless, molded tread works perfect for long-term storage for collector cars, recreational vehicles and impound vehicles.
\nIn recent years, the GUNI line has expanded to include the GUNI Wheel 45S and the GUNI Wheel X, both of which offer deeper offsets to work around large aftermarket brake calipers. Lately, the GUNI Wheel X has revolutionized the vehicle repositioning industry by offering interchangeable hub inserts and a rolling spinner option in one convenient platform. This space-saving design makes it a favorite among towing companies, auto repair shops and auto body and restoration specialists.
\n
The GUNI family of products also includes the GUNI Fast Puller, a portable dent-removal system, as well as accessories to accommodate the original GUNI Wheel. Under the new ownership, the plan is to continue to expand the product line and offer the latest innovation to Zip’s customers. Since the acquisition, the GUNI brand has already been refreshed with a new logo and updated website.
\n
“We appreciate the leadership former owner, Sergio Rovito, and his team at GUNI have done in developing their popular wheels and creating a huge following in several automotive markets,” Rottinghaus said. “We don’t plan on stopping there and can’t wait to deliver their beautiful orange wheels to professionals and hobbyists alike. We are well positioned for the future.\"
