Accuride Corporation (NYSE: ACW) – a leading supplier of

a media briefing and exhibit its wheel end solutions at the 11th
Annual Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW’16) at the Mirage
Convention Center in Las Vegas, January 25-28, 2016. The HDAW‘16
event is the largest North American gathering of independent
heavy-duty aftermarket leaders.
Accuride President and CEO Rick Dauch will host the media
briefing at 2:00 p.m. PST on Tuesday, January 26th. The briefing
will include the introduction of new wheel and wheel end products
and technologies aimed at providing significant cost-saving
benefits to North American fleets. Dauch also will provide an
update on the company’s recent global growth actions and future
priorities, including lightweighting and other R&D initiatives
that support industry compliance with EPA Phase 2 GHG and fuel
efficiency standards.
In addition, Accuride will showcase its latest wheel and wheel
end technologies for customers in Booth #1205 at the HDAW
Product Expo. Dauch – who will moderate the opening economic panel
discussion during the Heavy Duty Aftermarket Dialogue (HDAD)
conference on January 25th – says that now is a time for strategic
growth and technology development for Accuride.
“Between our continued development and commercialization of new
product technology, global expansion, world-class operating
performance, improving profitability and the capacity to handle
higher volumes, 2016 is an exciting time for Accuride and our
customers,” said Dauch. “HDAW’16 is the ideal place to share with
our customers and the industry what we have in store this year and
beyond.”
Accuride took steps in November 2015 to boost its strategic
position in the global commercial vehicle industry:
- Acquiring a majority stake in Italian
steel wheel manufacturer Gianetti Ruote S.r.l. from CLN S.p.A.,
marking the company’s first step in strategic expansion outside of
North America.
- Appointing Michael A. Hajost as its new
Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
- Promoting Scott D. Hazlett to
President, Wheels, and Gregory A. Risch to President, Gunite.
