United Wheel’s major competitive advantage is the vast industry experience and solid reputation of its owner, Bruce Nichols. Bruce is assisted by his Director of Sales and Operations, Jim Cartile. Bruce has 17 years of operational and sales experience in used automotive parts remanufacturing and distribution and Jim has 23 years of industry owner or sales and operations management experience. Bruce was born into the metals industry and his keen insight is what evolved United from strictly a recyler into a wheel rermanufacturing company. Bruce has his watchful eye on both aspects of United, both the wheel remanufacturing and aluminum recycling, yet prides his company's success on his valuable staff from top to bottom.
Our tremendous growth has necessitated a move to a larger facility. Several months ago United Wheel purchased a thirteen acre tract at the Niles Ferry Industrial Park in nearby Vonore, Tennessee. Plans are currently being prepared to relocate all of our operations to this site.
