Automotive accessories manufacturer with direct-to-consumer and OEM sales
WeatherTech manufactures precision-fit automotive accessories for both consumers and original equipment manufacturers, operating across 1,001–5,000 employees from Bolingbrook, Illinois. The tech stack reflects a hybrid manufacturing-plus-ecommerce operation: CAD tools (Solidworks, UG NX) feed product development, while Shopify, Magento, and BigCommerce power retail channels. Current project velocity centers on conversion optimization (A/B testing, CRO roadmaps, personalization) and data quality (PIM/DAM integration, bulk metadata automation), suggesting the ecommerce side is maturing faster than backend manufacturing systems—a common tension in legacy manufacturing firms scaling DTC.
Notable leadership hires: Warehouse Lead
Founded in 1989, WeatherTech supplies automotive accessories to consumer markets and original equipment manufacturers worldwide, including partnerships with all three major German luxury automakers and other global vehicle manufacturers. The product portfolio spans automotive accessories, pet accessories, home and business products, and detailing supplies. Manufacturing operations rely on reverse-engineering and CAD technology to ensure precision fit across vehicle models. Hiring activity is concentrated in manufacturing and operations roles, with smaller teams in marketing, logistics, and creative, reflecting a production-first organizational structure. Active projects focus on ecommerce conversion and product data consistency, indicating ongoing investment in direct-to-consumer channels alongside traditional OEM distribution.
WeatherTech uses Solidworks and UG NX for product design, Shopify, Magento, and BigCommerce for retail channels, Salesforce Commerce Cloud for order management, and InRiver for product information management. Epicor and CMMS handle manufacturing operations and maintenance.
WeatherTech is focused on ecommerce optimization: A/B testing merchandising layouts, optimizing product detail pages, building conversion and personalization roadmaps, and improving product data consistency through PIM/DAM integration and bulk metadata automation.
