Effective Jan. 1, Webb Wheel Products will change the name of its Transit Business Unit to Webb Severe Duty, reflecting the company’s plans to expand its platform and product offering to serve a wider market. Webb Severe Duty will continue to serve and grow within the transit/coach industry, but also will now focus on new markets, including refuse, fire, construction, school bus and military.
Webb Severe Duty will continue product development in its core product lines of brake drums, rotors and friction, particularly complete brake system solutions. These complete solutions will be engineered and matched components, such as drums and friction material, rotors and disc pads, as well as other severe duty components, according to the company.
“Today, Webb supplies the highest quality brake drums, rotors, friction and components to the transit industry through a network of world-class distributors. Utilizing the knowledge that we have gained through our focus on the transit and coach markets, we will provide the same high quality products to similar, severe duty markets,” said Randy McGuire, president of Webb Severe Duty.
