Accuride to Supply Polar’s Forged Aluminum Wheels and Components

Accuride Corporation (OTCBB: ACUZ) today announced that Polar Tank Trailer, LLC, recently named Accuride its preferred supplier for forged aluminum wheels.

“For many years, Accuride has served as Polar Tank’s standard steel wheel supplier. We have continued to build upon this foundation through the supply of wheels and wheel-end components for their aftermarket channels,” said Rick Schomer, Accuride’s Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales. “We are extremely pleased to further strengthen our relationship and be named a preferred aluminum wheel supplier for Polar Tank. This is an excellent example of how Accuride’s diversified yet complementary product lines can allow companies to maximize the options available for their customers without increasing suppliers.”

For Randy Arlt, Polar Tank Trailer President, the announcement reflects Polar’s commitment to a fully customer focused mission. “Formally recognizing our longstanding relationship and reliance on Accuride was a team-based decision heavily influenced by customer input,” said Arlt. “It’s all part of our process of ensuring the highest level of quality, responsiveness and world class cost performance.”
