ITASCA, Ill. – Hendrickson officials announce the name change of the Crest Hill,
Ill., bumper division from Hendrickson Stamping to Hendrickson Bumper and Trim.
“In 2004, the decision was made to focus the business on its core bumper product
while expanding into unique trim components”, states Keith Stephenson, chief
development officer of The Boler Company and president of Hendrickson’s
international business.
This decision formed the basis of an overall business direction to be a complete
supplier of metal and nonmetal bumper and trim components to the commercial
vehicle industry. “Hendrickson’s goal is to combine superior products with full
service engineering, design and distribution capabilities to provide value to
our customers,” says Doug Sanford, general manager, Hendrickson Bumper and Trim.
“The move into trim products was facilitated by the development of our
proprietary HENDRICKSON AERO BRIGHT (HAB) product,” adds Stephenson. “This
technology provides the commercial vehicle industry with unique solutions for
brilliant chrome-like, nonmetal bumpers and trim.”
“As a leading supplier to the commercial vehicle industry, this name change is a
logical progression that represents Hendrickson’s focused commitment to bumper
and trim products and the ever-changing needs of our customers,” notes Sanford.
Hendrickson, a Boler company, is one of the largest global suppliers of truck
and tractor suspensions, trailer suspensions, truck and trailer lift axles,
bumpers and trim components and springs to the commercial transportation
industry. Headquartered in Itasca, Ill., Hendrickson has been meeting the needs
of the transportation industry for more than 90 years. |
