Accuride Corporation is a diversified manufacturer and supplier of commercial vehicle components in North America. Based in Evansville, Indiana, the company designs, manufactures and markets commercial vehicle components. It was founded in 1986 to acquire part of The Firestone Tire & Rubber Company. [1]
The company produces commercial vehicle wheels, wheel-end components and assemblies, truck body and chassis parts, seating assemblies and other commercial vehicle components. Accuride markets its products using six brand names: Accuride, Gunite, Imperial, and Brillion Iron Works.[2]
In October 2009, the company sought legal protection from its creditors under Chapter 11 bankruptcy rules, and in November 2009 sought court approval to reorganize itself.[1] On February 26, 2010, Accuride emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy with a new capital structure.[3]
