"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."
During HDAW '13 in Las Vegas, the company announced BettsHD (www.BettsHD.com) as the company's consolidated operating division for spray suppression and fender products. BettsHD combines the legacy brands of Betts VCM division and Life-Time Fenders into a single reliable source for safety-related products focused on heavy duty tractor/trailer applications. 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).

Betts Spring Manufacturing, retains its legacy name and the company's tagline of "Building Well and Serving Better." This division designs and manufactures custom wire, coil and leaf springs for a variety of industries and product applications. Betts noted, "As our legacy business, we feel it is important and fitting to continue promoting the words of our founder."
