Marmon Highway Technologies Alters Brake, Wheel End Lines

Manufacturer Marmon Highway Technologies is reorganizing to increase its production brake and wheel end components and systems for heavy-duty tractors and trailers, the Cullman, Ala., company said May 2.

MHT, part of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway investment company, said certain lines within its Webb Wheel Products and TSE Brakes operating companies will be the foundation of the new Brake and Wheel Ends group.

J.T. Weis will serve as president of the new group, the statement said. MHT said it will try to expand the brake and wheel end group by acquisitions, entering into joint ventures and organic growth.

BWE will sell to original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket distributors.
