Bill Diggory, vice president and general manager of the Aftermarket Business Unit, said Chicago Rawhide/SKF has made a $3,000 donation to the Global Automotive Aftermarket Symposium scholarship fund.

The money is earmarked for special circumstance applicants and will be part of the scholarship fund pool distributed next year to applicants for the annual aftermarket educational support effort by the GAAS Committee.
In a separate effort, Diggory announced that the company had donated 50 copies of Pete Kornafel’s new book, Inventory Management and Purchasing- Tales, from the Automotive Aftermarket to the undergraduate Aftermarket Management studies program at Northwood University in Midland, Mich.
“Both Pete’s book and the Aftermarket programs at Northwood are one-of-a-kind. The Northwood courses represent the only place students can get a real-world perspective on the heavy duty truck parts and automotive aftermarkets. We are pleased to provide Northwood with the most on-point material ever published on a critical industry issue,” Diggory said.
Chicago Rawhide is a supplier of radial shaft seals, precision-engineered elastomeric products and value-added subassemblies to the heavy-duty/off-highway industry among others. Chicago Rawhide celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2003 and has been part of the SKF Group since its purchase in 1990.
