WHO WE ARE
For more than a century, Hendrickson has helped move the commercial transportation industry forward through innovation, engineering excellence, and a relentless commitment to performance. Founded in 1913 by inventor and entrepreneur Magnus Hendrickson, the company began as a small Chicago-based truck manufacturer serving the growing construction industry. A spirit of innovation quickly emerged as a defining characteristic of the business. In 1926, Hendrickson introduced the industry's first tandem truck suspension featuring its revolutionary walking beam design. By evenly distributing loads across two rear axles, the technology improved traction, durability, and payload capacity, helping shape the future of heavy-duty transportation. This breakthrough established Hendrickson as a pioneer in suspension technology and laid the foundation for more than 100 years of engineering leadership.
Today, Hendrickson is a leading global manufacturer and supplier of suspension systems, axle systems, springs, stabilizers, bumpers and related components for the commercial vehicle industry. With manufacturing, research and development, sales and distribution operations spanning North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, Hendrickson serves customers around the world with innovative solutions designed to improve safety, productivity, durability. and profitability. Driven by our Reliable By Design® philosophy, Hendrickson continues to deliver technologies that help fleets, OEMs, dealers, and operators achieve more from every mile.
