Hendrickson is a leading global manufacturer and supplier of medium- and heavy-duty mechanical, elastomeric and air suspensions; integrated and non-integrated axle and brake systems; tire pressure control systems; auxiliary lift axle systems; parabolic and multi-leaf springs; stabilizers; U-Bolts and bumper and trim components to the global commercial transportation industry. In 1913 Magnus Hendrickson, a Swedish immigrant, started manufacturing commercial trucks in Chicago, Illinois. Hendrickson’s pioneering spirit led to a series of valuable “firsts” that have changed the industry and inspired growth. This growth began with the production of our first tandem suspension in 1926.  Hendrickson extended the company’s global reach by acquiring an English company, Norde Suspensions, Ltd. , in 1985. Today, Hendrickson has research and development facilities and five plants located in England, Germany, Austria, France (two locations), Romania and Poland providing suspensions and components like state-of-the-art leaf spring, stabiliser and U-bolt solutions for the European OEMs. The headquarter of Hendrickson Commercial Vehicle Systems Europe is in Austria and responsible for all European locations and product segments.
