A new, young group of heavy-
duty trucking aftermarket leaders
have formed a new organization,
GenNext, to educate, mentor and
recruit the next generation of after-
market leaders.
"This group is comprised of the
up-and-coming leaders of tomor-
row in the aftermarket truck parts
industry. While the group's message
is meant for younger executives (45
and under) any age level is welcome
to join," says Steve Hansen, Gen-
Next president from Minimizer.
"Our group can make a
difference in the future of our
growing aftermarket," adds Han-
sen. "All of us care so deeply for
the heavy-duty aftermarket and
we want to give back in terms of
people development and enrich-
ing the futures of the industry's
leaders.
More details on the organization
are available at www.gennexthd.

Duty), on Twitter (@GenNextHD),

MAHLE updates
company name
MAHLE Clevite Inc. announces the tran-
sition of its company name to MAHLE
Aftermarket Inc. The changeover to the
company's name, effective Jan. 1, 2014,
serves a dual purpose: to bring MAHLE
in line with all of the MAHLE Global
Aftermarket divisions, and to highlight
the substantial diversifi cation of the
MAHLE Aftermarket product mix, the
company says.
"MAHLE Clevite remained the only
MAHLE Aftermarket division worldwide
that did not have aftermarket in our
legal name," says Jon Douglas, general
manager, MAHLE Aftermarket. "We now
join the aftermarket divisions in Europe,
South America, and Asia/Pacifi c regions
as one global aftermarket business unit."
