EVANSVILLE, Ind.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Accuride Corporation (OTCBB: ACUZ), a leading manufacturer and supplier of commercial vehicle components, today announced the sale of its Brillion Farm Equipment^TM division to Landoll Corporation.

"Wea™re also confident the acquisition fulfills part of our goal to expand and diversify our agricultural product line in order to better fill the needs of todaya™s top producers."

Accuride acquired Brillion Farm Equipment in 2005 as a portion of its acquisition of Transportation Technologies Industries, Inc. Brillion Farm Equipment manufactures a full line of tillage, seedbed preparation, and seeding equipment.

aWhile Brillion Farm Equipment is an excellent business, the sale of the company is in direct support of our corporate strategic objectives,a said Bill Lasky, Accuridea™s President, CEO, and Chairman of the Board. aThe agricultural equipment market is inconsistent with our core focus on the commercial vehicle industry. The Brillion Farm Equipment brand and people who are transferring with it will be much better served with Landoll's ownership and focus.a

aWe believe the Brillion Farm Equipment product line is an ideal fit with Landolla™s reputation for quality products and brand recognition within the industry,a says Don Landoll, president and founder of Landoll Corporation. aWea™re also confident the acquisition fulfills part of our goal to expand and diversify our agricultural product line in order to better fill the needs of todaya™s top producers.a
