Accuride Corporation (OTCBB: ACUZ), one of the largest and most diversified manufacturers and suppliers of commercial vehicle components in North America will showcase the Company’s forged aluminum European product line at the Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (IAA) Show in Hanover, Germany, which runs September 23 - 30.
“We look forward to showcasing our extensive line of forged aluminum wheel products specifically designed and manufactured for the European commercial vehicle market,” said Rick Schomer, Accuride’s Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales. “The products feature the quality and innovation that has allowed Accuride to build and maintain an unwaveringly strong reputation in North America while providing the European customer with solutions for increased corrosion resistance, aesthetic appeal, and weight savings.”
“IAA visitors will have the opportunity to preview upcoming additions to Accuride’s European product line,” added Schomer. “In the coming months, Accuride plans to introduce its new 22.5 x 11.75 aluminum wheel with 135mm offset for the truck OEM market. Additionally, Accuride will unveil its new premium surface treatment, Accu-Armor(TM), that will be an available option for any size aluminum wheel. Accu-Armor minimizes filiform corrosion, creating a unique surface that is highly resistant to normal scratching and scuffing.”
Accuride’s European product line has been tested and meets the standards set forth by TUV and/or LBF and includes wheels ranging in size from 19.5 – 22.5 x 11.75 for commercial trucks, trailers, and the respective aftermarket.
Accuride will display its products at booth B11 in Building 12 at the IAA event.
