Meritor Wabco Vehicle Control Systems has reached the 20-year mark of providing commercial vehicle braking and active safety systems.


As part of the company's anniversary, it celebrated its aftermarket business, which has grown 5 percent each year since 1990 and has shipped over 8.1 million units to date.

"Our complete customer support team in Hebron, Ky., in Florence, Ky., and in district managers across the country makes the world's most advanced vehicle control systems easier to understand, use, and service," said Jon Morrison, president of Meritor Wabco Vehicle Control Systems.

While the company's antilock brake parts accounted for all of its aftermarket sales 20 years ago, these products now account for about 50 percent of its sales, as the company has expanded its product offerings to include a range of air dryers, compressors, valves, and other parts.

Over the years, the company has also added and improved other services, including its one-year warranty on replacement parts, diagnostic support, its suite of electronic ordering and fulfillment services, training, and field support.

Meritor Wabco is a joint venture of ArvinMeritor and the Wabco Automotive Control Systems, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wabco Holdings, Inc.
