“We are both proud and honored to be awarded standard position at Mack Trucks,” said Walt Frankiewicz, president of Bendix. “This attainment gives credence to our commitment to provide the most robust braking options for commercial vehicle OEMs. We look forward to providing the high level of service and support Mack customers expect.”
