Summary

ApexArte would like to inform our customers and partners of a temporary adjustment to production lead times for custom wheel orders.

Supply Chain Update

 

ApexArte would like to inform our customers and partners of a temporary adjustment to production lead times for custom wheel orders.

Due to a significant increase in production demand from China's rapidly growing new energy vehicle (NEV) sector, manufacturing capacity across portions of the automotive supply chain is currently experiencing higher-than-normal utilization. As a result, the production lead time for certain custom wheel orders may be extended by approximately 7–10 days.

This adjustment primarily affects fully customized wheel projects, including bespoke specifications, special finishes, and personalized design options. Standard production orders may experience little to no impact, depending on current scheduling and inventory availability.

To maintain the high quality standards expected from every ApexArte product, we have chosen to prioritize manufacturing precision, quality control, and delivery reliability rather than accelerate production at the expense of product quality.

Our production planning team is actively optimizing schedules and coordinating resources to minimize delays wherever possible. We are also continuing to invest in equipment upgrades and manufacturing efficiency improvements to support growing demand from both domestic and international markets.

Customers with time-sensitive projects are encouraged to contact their ApexArte sales representative as early as possible to confirm production schedules and shipping arrangements. Our team will work closely with each customer to provide the most accurate lead-time estimates and order updates.

We sincerely appreciate the continued trust and support of our customers worldwide. ApexArte remains committed to delivering premium forged wheels with the quality, craftsmanship, and service that our partners have come to expect.
