Curtiss-Wright’s Industrial division has announced a further strengthening of its global distribution network with the appointment of GB Automotive Ltda, who will represent the Industrial Group product brands (Arens Controls, Penny + Giles and Williams Controls) in Brazil.

With independent sales partners throughout Brazil and offices in Itu and Santos near São Paulo, GB Automotive – the South American partner of Global Alliance Automotive – represents many significant component manufacturers in the Brazilian market with a customer portfolio that boasts OEMs including BMW Group, CAT, Eaton, John Deere and Mercedes-Benz.

But, as Curtiss-Wright Industrial division’s senior vice president and general manager Kevin Rayment explained, GB Automotive is more than just a distributor. “The company supplies nearly all passenger car, truck and off-road OEMs and Tier 1 and 2 manufacturers, but is also recognised as offering commercial and technical representation together with market research and localisation studies within Brazil’s automotive industry.”

Curtiss-Wright’s Industrial division is recognised in the production of critical controls and assemblies for specialty vehicles, including sensors, electronic throttle controls and joysticks.
