I’m Eugene Kataoka, founder of Holix Forged.

 

In 1995, I came to the United States as a student.

I didn’t have connections. I didn’t have a roadmap. What I had was hunger — the drive to find an opportunity and build something real in this country.

 

That’s when I found the car industry.

 

While exporting vehicles back to Japan, I quickly realized something powerful — the demand for wheels wasn’t just strong, it was intense. The level of passion, customization, and identity tied to wheels was on another level.

 

In that moment, I knew:

 

This is it.

This is my lane.

In 1997, I launched Kaotik with MHT.

In 2000, I started Sporza.

 

From street builds to show cars to luxury platforms, we put wheels on vehicles that defined eras and trends.

 

Now, with decades of experience behind us, we’ve stepped into one of the most soulful markets of all — classic cars.

 

That’s where Holix Forged was born.

For 30 years, I’ve stayed in the same arena.

 

Trends change.

Styles evolve.

The market shifts.

 

But some things never change:

 

A commitment to real style.

An obsession with quality.

And listening to what customers truly want their build to become.

 

This road hasn’t been easy.

But when you love the culture, you don’t quit.

 

We’ve released countless wheels into the world.

Every single one carries a story.

 

To the customers, builders, shops, partners, and everyone who has supported this journey — you have my respect and gratitude
