Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems is celebrating 95 years in business this year.
It opened in 1930 as Bendix-Westinghouse Automotive Air Brake Company, focused on producing technologies and services that help keep fleets safe and their vehicles on the road.
“Bendix has always stood at the intersection of innovation and responsibility,” said Piotr Sroka, Bendix president, chief executive officer, and chief operating officer. “Our products help fleets navigate today’s roadways, and our workforce powers solutions for tomorrow. Whether it’s next-generation braking technologies, energy efficiency, or educational partnerships, our story has been one of constant progress – and we’re honored to celebrate 95 years with so many colleagues, customers, and community partners along the way.”
Bendix was originally based in Wilmerding, Penn., but moved to Northeast Ohio in 1941, where it remains today. It became a part of the Knorr-Bremse group in 2002.
The company said in a release that as it looks ahead, it will continue to advance technologies that help make roads safer and support fleet performance and sustainability.
“We’re exceptionally proud of what we’ve built over 95 years,” Sroka said. “But what drives us is the future – and the chance to help shape it. That means listening to our customers, investing in our people, strengthening our communities, and building on a legacy that’s just getting started.”
