Entrepreneur enjoys life in the fast lane
Pete Morley brought his businesses to Sparks from California for familiar reasons.
“The problems with worker’s compensation, insurances, rent, utilities and regulation became very stifling,” says the owner of two manufacturing companies and a distributorship. “And I wanted to be close to California but I didn’t want to live in Las Vegas.”
So in 2004, he packed up Prototype Concepts Inc. and Kaminari Aerodynamics, his two manufacturing companies, along with a distributorship for Racetech Seats and moved them to Sparks.
“We rode about 25 semi-truck loads, and 30 people came with me. I have three employees that have been with me 20 years and they’re my core,” he said.
Prototype Concepts develops fiberglass and composite parts for customers ranging from automotive manufacturers to entertainment giants such as the Walt Disney Co. Kaminari makes after-market parts such as deck wings and rear skirts to dress up import and domestic cars, and Racetech sells seats and safety products to the racing industry. Read more:
