TROY, Mich. — ArvinMeritor has entered into an agreement to acquire Trucktechnic, a major remanufacturer and distributor of commercial vehicle disc and foundation brakes and components, based in Liege, Belgium.

Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Trucktechnic has an established reputation for quality, reliability, and outstanding service among its customer base in Western and Eastern Europe, as well as Africa and South America.

The company’s line of brake kits, components, and testing equipment will expand and complement ArvinMeritor‘s existing European aftermarket portfolio both in terms of product breadth and market depth, the company says.

In addition, a significant portfolio of remanufactured, all-makes, complete caliper and disc brakes will add to ArvinMeritor’s existing proprietary line of remanufactured disc brakes and will become integral to the company’s remanufacturing business.

"This acquisition represents a major step forward for our European operation in terms of brand recognition, product offering, geographical footprint and remanufacturing capability and capacity," said Maurice Haft, ArvinMeritor’s managing director, Europe, Commercial Vehicle Aftermarket.
