Sypris Technologies supply Mack axles

Auto sales finally got back above pre-recession levels in 2014 with August sales reaching a seven-year high. After six long years, sales levels have matched 2007’s pace. More importantly, several research groups expect 2015 continue to grow. Today’s Motor Vehicles allows marketers direct access to this healthy industry with continued growth.

Louisville, Kentucky – Sypris Technologies Inc. has been awarded a long-term contract with Volvo Group North America LLC and Mack Trucks Inc. for the supply of axle shafts for use on Volvo’s Mack branded axle through 2018.

He adds, “We are excited for the opportunity to expand and extend our strategic relationship with Volvo and collaborate on other products where we can bring value to their supply chain.”

The news comes on the heels of Sypris announcing a supply deal with Detroit Diesel.
