Earlier this year saw the birth of a start-up that leveraged the joint strengths of three giants
– Tenneco, Federal-Mogul and Öhlins Racing. DRiV Incorporated, headquartered in the greater Chicago area, will be one of the largest global multi-line, multi-brand aftermarket suppliers and one of the largest global original equipment (OE), ride performance and braking suppliers to aftermarket, light-vehicle, and commercial-vehicle customers. The $6+ billion company has a massive global footprint, including 64 manufacturing facilities worldwide, as well as 29 engineering and technical facilities. DRiVTM has a stable of enduring aftermarket brands and long-time partnerships with the world’s leading original equipment manufacturers. These include Monroe®, Goetze®, Ferodo®, Champion®, Öhlins®, Moog®, Wagner®, Thrush®, Axios® and several others. In this issue, we take a look at the Monroe® brand’s rich heritage and product range.
Established in 1916, Monroe® has been one of the most respected brands in the automotive and commercial vehicle industries. With over 100 years of material and design innovation and manufacturing process know-how combined with an in-depth understanding of our customers, Monroe has been a market leader in both Original Equipment and Aftermarket for ride control and suspension systems, and components. Monroe uses advanced engineering and test capabilities to provide product reliability, endurance, and performance. With our integrated, electronically linked engineering and manufacturing facilities around the world, Monroe supplies both to OE and Aftermarket customers on a global basis.
The Monroe® OESpectrum® series of shocks and struts feature the revolutionary, patented M-RTECH®2 Rebound Valving Technology™, which provides virtually instantaneous feedback and response to changing driving conditions for exceptional road-holding capability, a smoother ride and increased driver control and confidence. This technology is combined with our new high-speed Impact Control Valve. This, in turn, helps each OESpectrum unit deliver a unique blend of world-class control, and reduced noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).
Beyond advanced technologies and best-in-class product performance, a core element of the Monroe brand’s enduring success has been a uniquely strong connection with the professionals who specify, sell and install our products.
