MAT is headquartered in Long Grove, Illinois, and operates globally over three continents with 15,000 employees.
"After considering our strategic options, we decided the sale of the Rome business serves the interests of all our key stakeholders: customers, employees, and our parent company. We are very excited about the opportunity to transition this facility to MAT, an accomplished global manufacturer,” said Eric Vaillancourt, president, Stemco.
“We are thrilled with the opportunity to grow our presence in the commercial vehicle braking segment," said Craig Gordon, president, MAT HD. "We believe the acquisition of the Rome manufacturing facility provides a great complement to our existing product offering in our heavy duty portfolio."
