Racetech Manufacturing Limited, the New Zealand-based designer and manufacturer of race seats and more, has established a subsidiary company called Racetech USA Ltd based in Mooresville, North Carolina.

A worldwide exporter of FIA-approved seats and associated safety products, Racetech Manufacturing has established a well-regarded presence in the US market over the past 12 years.

“We have strong commercial relationships direct with OEM vehicle manufacturers and we also distribute our range of race seats and other product through various distributors, the latest being RT North America Ltd based in Sparks, Nevada," said David Black, Managing Director of Racetech Manufacturing Ltd and President of the newly established Racetech USA Ltd.

"This distribution relationship was terminated at the end of 2012 and the new subsidiary established to enable our US business to grow further.”

A new warehouse and sales facility is currently being established in Mooresville based on its proximity to a large proportion of the US racing population and the strong motorsports and racing community in the area.

“We are also pleased to advise that Brian Oleshak, who has been the National Sales Manager at Racetech North America, has now been appointed in a similar role with Racetech USA Ltd. Brian will soon relocate his family to North Carolina and, with the support of our entire Racetech team in New Zealand, is sure to continue his excellent work with race teams and vehicle manufacturers across the US.

The Racetech range of race seats are used in many forms of motorsports, such as drag racing, ALMS, World Challenge, Grand Am, V8 Supercars, drifting, autocross, dessert trucks, jet sprint boats, sprint cars, offshore power boats and rallying.
