About Custom Works

Custom Works Composite Engineering was founded 1999.

The owner Arno Seyfert studied in Karlsruhe Germany to become ‘Staatlich Gepruefter Machinenbau Techniker’ after completing an apprenticeship as toolmaker and work experience in the injection moulding and the aircraft industry.
His passion for composites started in his early teens which led to experience in windsurf board building, aircraft components automotive tuning components.
He moved to South Africa in 1994.

Composite manufacturing was a side line at the time, but the demand for high tech products increased so much that it became a full time job 1998.
Since then Custom Works Composite Engineering has grown to become the key composite supplier for VW Motorsport for the Rally, Formula VW and Polo Cup cars.

Other successfull customers like Terry Moss Racing and Johann Fourie Racing are using Custom Works’ Services.
Components for AMG C63, E63, BMW, Alfa Romeo, Audi and more are part of Custom Works’ product range for optical tuning or increased performance.

The South African manufacturing environment and an extremely flexible manufacturing setup puts Custom Works in the position to manufacture quality products even in smaller quantities which is often not possible for companies from the far east.
