"Our branding initiative consolidates our business into three distinctly branded operating divisions which position Betts Company for future growth in transportation and industrial markets. Improving the Way Things Move is a part of everything we do and is the foundation of who we are and what we believe."

BettsHD operates under the new tagline: "Parts for the Long Haul."
The company's two additional operating divisions are Betts Truck Parts and Service (www.BettsTruckParts.com) and Betts Spring Manufacturing (www.BettsSpring.com).
