Overview
Lokar Performance Products designs and manufactures performance automotive parts in-house for hot rods, muscle cars, trucks, and race cars, with all parts made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty. The company handles everything from initial design and engineering through prototyping and production, and then distributes its products through national and international channels. It differentiates itself by owning the full development-to-production process and by targeting niche street-rod and racing components, complemented by strategic acquisitions like Clayton Machine Works, Lecarra Steering Wheels, and Made-4-You Products. Its goal is to provide durable, high-quality US-made parts for hot rodders and racers, while expanding its reach through trusted brands and worldwide distribution.
