kscarbel2 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Transport Topics / July 2, 2015Rassini, a Mexico-based supplier of suspension and brake components, said it has expanded its offerings to include leaf springs for the North American commercial-truck market.The move extends the company’s reach beyond its established business in the North American light-truck and South American heavy-truck markets. “Entering the commercial truck market in North America was a natural progression for us, and we are already experiencing early success,” Rassini President Eugenio Madero said.The supplier said Ford Motor Co. recently awarded it a contract to supply the front suspension technology for the next-generation F-650 and F-750 work truck series built at Ford’s Ohio assembly plant. Rassini said it expects to provide heavy-duty suspension components for many North American truck brands. The marketing and sales operations for Rassini’s North American heavy commercial truck business are based in Plymouth, Michigan.Production, manufacturing, research and development are housed at the company’s facility in Piedras Negras, Mexico.

kscarbel2 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 It all relates back to NAFTA.If we actually had a functioning democracy, the American people would have been able to vote yea or nay on such a significant decision as NAFTA.The establishment's sales pitch for NAFTA to the gullible masses was a complete fabrication, a brilliantly played out distraction from the truth.NAFTA in fact was the idea of big business, a way for them to produce in low-labor-cost Mexico, and then import to the US without tariffs.
