TROY, Mich. — David Giroux, formerly director of Marketing Communications with Peterbilt, has returned to ArvinMeritor, where he worked from 1999 until 2006.

Giroux succeeds D. Mike Pennington, who is retiring after more than 25 years of service with Arvin.

“We are pleased to welcome David back to the company," says Lin Cummins, senior vice-president of communications.
