Bendix to acquire steering component remanufacturer ProSteering

 

Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems announced that it will acquire ProSteering business of JM Engineered Products, a Lebanon, Tennessee-based remanufacturer of all-makes power steering systems for the North American commercial vehicle market.

Upon closing, the transaction will incorporate the ProSteering brand’s products, manufacturing operations, plus its sales and service operations into Bendix’s steering business and remanufacturing unit. Complete integration is expected to take six to 12 months.

“With the addition of these top-line products to our lineup, the aftermarket channel will be able to turn to Bendix as a one-stop destination for an even wider range of high-quality products,” said Scott Burkhart, Bendix vice president of sales, marketing and business development. “And customers choosing the steering components—as with our existing products—can count on the backing of Bendix’s long-established post-sales distribution, service, and support network.”

Bendix says that it is working to ensure a seamless integration process for its customers.

“As we navigate through the transition, our goal is to have uninterrupted product and service,” Dustin Carpenter, Bendix product line director for steering, said. “Customers should continue to use their existing order and day-to-day support contacts until they’ve been further notified.”
