Our History

2020 Manufacturing Marvels feature on JR Manufacturing

Our History

1998 – Founded

JR Manufacturing was founded in 1998 by Jeff Roessner. The company initially began producing seamless citronella buckets.

1999 – Entry into Automotive Manufacturing

Within the first year, the company transitioned into producing automotive seat wires, marking the beginning of its long-term focus on the automotive industry. This quickly expanded into additional automotive seat components.

Early 2000s – Rapid Growth & Innovation

As demand increased, JR Manufacturing:

  • Expanded its Ohio footprint
  • Acquired a facility in Tennessee
  • Developed the first formed press notch in the United States
  • Added advanced capabilities including CNC bending, robotic welding, and automation

2003 – Acquisition & Certification

JR Manufacturing was purchased by the LeFevre family. Shortly after the acquisition, the company achieved ISO certification, strengthening its quality systems and customer confidence.

2009 – Global Expansion

JR Manufacturing partnered with Prodomex in Aguascalientes, Mexico, expanding its global manufacturing presence.

2010 – Global Partnership

The company became part of Sumikin Bussan, now known as Nippon Steel Trading, further accelerating growth through global collaboration and resources.

2010s – Continued Growth & Diversification 

With the support of global partners, JR Manufacturing:

  • Expanded its product offerings
  • Added a dedicated assembly & packaging location
  • Established a facility focused on New Model development
  • Continued investing in advanced manufacturing technologies

April 22, 2023 – Industrial Fire   

Complete loss of corporate office location – Over 75,000 square feet

  • The team was eager to help and worked hard to filter through the building to start salvaging machines.
  • We found rental space in Coldwater, OH which we called Southside.

December 30, 2025 – Acquisition by Angstrom

JR Manufacturing was acquired by Angstrom, marking a new chapter in the company’s history.

Following the acquisition, the company officially changed its name from JR Manufacturing (JRM) to AMS Seat Structures.

  • All locations, team members, systems, and operational structures remain in place
