Carlisle's Motion Control Division in Charlottesville, Va., announced its plan to form a partnership with Brake Resources Inc. (BRI) of St. Louis, Mo.
As part of this new partnership, Motion Control will consolidate its Altec brake shoe remanufacturing operation located in Pittsburg, Kan., into BRI's St. Louis area facility.

All current Altec equipment and technology will be moved from Pittsburg to BRI. The Altec remanufactured brake shoes produced through this partnership will continue to meet all current quality standards, including Altec's coining process and RustGard technology.

Customer service functions will remain essentially unchanged by this move, all inquiries for the former Pittsburg facility will continue to be handled through Charlottesville. There is no change in operations or customer service for Altec's Brantford Ontario facility.

The relocation of Altec's U.S. manufacturing facility will be complete within the next several months with no interruption or delay in products or services.
