Accuride Realigns Sales Force to Maximize Customer Service and Responsiveness.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. -- Accuride Corporation (NYSE:ACW) announced today that it has realigned its sales force to maximize customer service and responsiveness.

"When Accuride purchased the former Transportation Technologies Industries, Inc. (TTI) businesses in January, individual sales representatives from both companies were calling upon many of the same customers and representing only one of the six specific brand names," explained Larry Taylor, Accuride's Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "Through our integration efforts, we have eliminated overlap in sales force territories and educated our sales staff on our multiple product lines. Now, when a salesperson calls upon a customer they can offer a diverse portfolio of products."

As a result of the realignment, Accuride's sales function is now organized by customer type.

Leading the Truck OEM area is John Schneider, who was recently named Accuride's Vice President of Truck OEM Sales. John was previously with TTI as Regional Director of Sales. Schneider has over 17 years of experience in the commercial vehicle industry.

Tony Pape joined Accuride in 2005 to serve as the Company's Vice President of Aftermarket and Export Sales. Pape has more than 14 years experience in aftermarket sales and OEM truck components. Prior to joining Accuride, Pape served in various marketing and sales capacities at ArvinMeritor.

Brad Rolfe will lead the Industrial Sales and Marketing segment at Accuride and will serve as General Manager, Industrial Sales and Marketing. Prior to joining Accuride, Rolfe served in a similar role for Brillion Iron Works, Inc.

Oscar Rodriguez will lead Accuride's Mexican Sales; while the Company's Trailer, Military and RV sales will be led by Mike Brown. Greg Nelson will serve as Director of Northville OEM Sales. Rodriguez, Brown and Nelson who will now represent all product lines were previously with Accuride serving in similar capacities for its steel and aluminum wheel product line.
