A legacy company of the Firestone Corporation, Accuride – a leading supplier of components to the North American and European commercial vehicle industries – was sold in 1987. Since then, it has been going through a number of changes, says company president and CEO Rick Dauch.
The company, which is growing its wheels and wheel-end businesses, sees a shift in the marketplace.
Dauch noted a disturbing trend in the aftermarket with regard to truck wheels.
Many of the wheels are coming from China.
There’s a great excess of wheel capacity, says Dauch.
