Wheel weight producer Perfect Equipment Inc. has changed its corporate name to Wegmann Automotive USA Inc.
The company’s Canadian arm also changed its name and is now Wegmann Automotive Canada Inc.
The change was effective Jan. 1, and applies only to the company’s corporate names. The 75-year-old product brand name ‘Perfect Equipment’ and its ‘Hofmann Power Weight’ brand name will remain unchanged. The Murfreesboro, Tenn.-based unit offers a range of lead, non-lead, knock-on and adhesive wheel weights.
The newly adopted North American operating name is a reflection of the overall parent company – Wegmann Automotive – which has been the parent company of Perfect Equipment since 2005, the company said.
The name change “helps galvanize the Wegmann Automotive global platform and provides consistency to markets worldwide,” the company said.
“Our top priority is to bring superior value to our customers,” says Jeff Waechter, President and CEO of Wegmann Automotive USA. “By continuing to deliver market leading products under our Perfect Equipment and Hofmann Power Weight brand names and by providing ‘best in class’ service using our Wegmann Automotive global network of teams, we feel we have set the stage to offer our customers the best value in the industry.”
