The Brake Manufacturers Council will be integrated into the Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association, as part of a new agreement announced Friday
.

Through the agreement, BMC will become a product council of AASA, operating under the leadership of the AASA Board of Governors. Jack Cameron, AASA vice president, will handle the daily operations of BMC as its new staff executive.

"This agreement between the leadership of AASA and BMC will benefit North American suppliers and create more collaboration among brake suppliers, whether aftermarket or original equipment," said Steve Handschuh, AASA president and chief operating officer. "This agreement will create a unique forum for BMC members and will foster open discussions of common concerns and industry issues."

"Membership in the BMC is open to original equipment or aftermarket suppliers of brake components," Cameron said. "We are working now with the BMC leadership and will announce the meetings and programs for 2010 soon."

According to Bob McKenna, president and CEO of the Motor and Equipment Manufacturers Association, this agreement is in the best interests of all members. "This closer relationship between AASA and BMC will result in expanded services and programs for all members," McKenna said. "It will add even more to the member value proposition and greater return on investments for both groups' members."
