Four truck industry business entities have been merged to form Hendrickson Truck Systems Group, Itasca IL, according to company information.
Doug Sanford has assumed duties as vice-president and general manager of the newly formed organization that oversees the former Hendrickson Truck Suspension Systems and Hendrickson Spring. Hendrickson Auxiliary Axle Systems and Hendrickson Bumper and Trim continue to operate under their business unit structures as semi-autonomous organizations in the new truck systems group.
The company said that consolidating former truck and spring divisions expands opportunities for integrated suspension and spring designs for global truck platforms and improves coordination of engineering and marketing functions. The action also improves coordination for human resources, finance and purchasing.
