Race Winning Brands Shifts Transmission Business Unit to Next Level of Performance

Mentor, Ohio, December 6, 2024 – Race Winning Brands (RWB), a leading manufacturer of high-performance components for the automotive and powersports markets, is excited to announce evolutionary actions aimed to better serve customers and improve efficiency of its Transmission Business Unit, including the RevMax Torque Converters (RevMax) and Transmission Specialties (TSI) brands.

This announcement comes on the heels of Craig Stark joining the RWB family as Vice President of its Transmission Business Unit and further solidifies RWB’s commitment to targeting new growth and innovation for both RevMax and Transmission Specialties.

The first notable action will be the migration of Transmission Specialties’ operations from its current Aston, PA location to what is currently the RevMax facility in Charlotte, NC. This move will better allow TSI to serve its customers of all levels, streamlining processes in manufacturing, R&D, quality, inventory and shipping. These improvements aim to translate to an improved experience for TSI’s partners, from jobbers and builders to end users.

The next exciting action involves the growth of experienced people behind RWB’s transmission brands. Tom Hauser has been promoted to Director, Business Development and Fran Leverick has been promoted to Manager, Business Development, both for RWB’s Transmission Business Unit. Tom will play a pivotal role in championing everything from sales to product management to customer service with crucial support from Fran and his team focusing on both inside and outside sales.

“By leveraging collaboration, innovation, and a relentless focus on quality and continuous improvement, we’re streamlining operations and expanding our team to deliver industry-leading products and exceptional customer service,” said Craig Stark, VP of RWB’s Transmission Business Unit.

These strategic moves by RWB to optimize its Transmission Business Unit will combine talented and experienced people with key, shared resources to further elevate the products, service and performance of the RevMax and TSI brands.
