ZF Aftermarket announced it is launching 16 new part numbers for continuous damping control (CDC) shock absorbers available for passenger vehicles in the U.S. and Canada, covering a variety of BMW 5, 6 and 7 models.

In addition, the company said it is expanding the range of TRW brake boosters and master cylinders originally launched at AAPEX 2023.

ZF Aftermarket also is planning to release additional CDC part numbers in the first quarter of 2024.

SACHS CDC shocks for passenger cars provide perfect damping in any situation, according to ZF Aftermarket. State- of-the-art technology continually records variables that affect ride control, anticipating and adjusting the damping force to the external conditions.

“We are very pleased to offer SACHS continuous damping control shocks in the USC market and look forward to continuing to build out this product line, Likewise, we are expanding the availability of TRW braking products to provide our customers with even more ‘True Original’ parts,” said Mark Cali, head of independent aftermarket, USC for ZF Aftermarket.

ZF said it is also adding 53 part numbers for TRW brake boosters, extending the range of ZF brake boosters to a wide range European make vehicles in the USC market.

ZF Aftermarket is also expanding its line of TRW brake master cylinders manufactured in steel, aluminum or cast iron. The 69 new parts feature OE-specified rubber seals and dust caps to resist ageing and come with fitting accessories included. TRW brake master cylinders also include a chrome 6-free “silver” finish for steel and cast-iron models for a protective, durable and rust-resistant coating that is free of heavy metals, the company said.

      DMA Names Fred Snow President and COO, Expanding Leadership Role  
      By Counterman
      John Treece, chairman and CEO of
      link hidden, please login to view, announced the promotion of Fred Snow to president and chief operating officer in the letter below: “As DMA strives to continue to grow and deliver excellence to our customers, building a strong and sustainable senior leadership team is imperative to our organization’s success. Today, I am pleased to announce Fred Snow will be assuming the title of President, along with his current role as Chief Operating Officer.
      Fred brought with him to
      link hidden, please login to view a very strong Automotive Aftermarket background and work experience in managing and running an organization similar to DMA. In his two years with our organization, Fred has comfortably assimilated into the DMA culture and exhibited thoughtful decision-making and leadership, while directly managing many of our key projects. He is now intimately knowledgeable about the workings of DMA, as he has been involved in most aspects of the business, extending beyond his direct responsibilities. I fully trust Fred’s ability to assess our business situations and make timely and deliberate decisions. He and I are fully aligned in the direction we steer the company and the effort it will take to achieve success. We both share a passion for serving the customer with a sense of urgency as our #1 priority. Fred’s areas of direct responsibility will remain the same as today: Supply Chain, Operations, Customer Service, Facility Management, and he will be assuming Product Management, and Engineering & Quality Management. This change of title acknowledges that Fred is assisting me in the overall day-to-day running of the company. It also represents that Fred is now my official backup for directing the company and making any required decisions in my absence. Fred also has full authority to sign on behalf of the company. 
      My role and responsibilities remain the same as CEO and Chairman of the Board. With the launching of our new joint venture factory SDI in Thailand and other corporate travel obligations, it was clear that the time had come when DMA needed someone officially in charge when I am unavailable. This evolutionary organizational step assures the stability and consistency that positions DMA to continue to be a fast-acting and customer-responsive company with clear lines of leadership and communication for our employees. 
      I am confident that this change is another positive milestone in the development of DMA. Please join me in congratulating Fred on this well-deserved appointment.”
