Our vision is to be the partner of choice for our customers, team members and community through trust, diversity and innovation.

Who We Are
Founded in 1998 by Jeff Roessner, we started making seamless citronella buckets, but within a year we were producing seat wires. This quickly escalated into more automotive seat products.

In short order we grew and started expanding our Ohio footprint as well as purchasing a facility in Tennessee. We did that while developing the 1st formed press notch in the in US and adding CNC bending, robotic welding, and automation capabilities. We were purchased by the LeFevre family in 2003 and received ISO certification shortly after.

In 2009, we partnered with Prodomex in Aguascalientes, Mexico and the following year became part of Sumikin Bussan (now Nippon Steel Trading). These global partners fostered more growth. We have since added many new products, a location for assembly, and a facility for our New Model team.

We currently have about 500 employees between our locations in Ft. Recovery, OH, Manchester, TN, and Aguascalientes, Mexico.

What We Do
From making citronella candles to producing full seat frames and structures with multiple wires, tubes and welds was a path filled with growth in our capabilities.

We consistently seek new equipment, processes, and experienced team members to stimulate growth in our business. CNC benders, weld cells, custom tooling, and automation design are common in our core products. Our familiarity there allows us to offer expertise to customers and apply them to our product designs.

Beyond equipment JR Manufacturing also emphasizes the importance of continuing education. Building our team member knowledge base is a huge asset for us.
