Paul Lee, President of the Wharton Automotive Group continues to grow his drivetrain empire with the acquisition of the small diameter racing clutch and drivetrain component line of PowerTrain Technology (PTT) of Algonquin, IL. PTT has a two-decade record of putting drivers in the winners’ circle with reliable cutting-edge racing clutch and drivetrain products.<\/p>\n
PTT will join the Wharton team consisting of McLeod, FTI, and SST, all of whom are leaders in their respective niches.<\/p>\n
PTT will be relocating to McLeod Racing\u2019s facility in Anaheim, CA and the products will be available through McLeod Racing and their worldwide distribution network.<\/p>\n
PTT\u2019s line of lightweight racing clutches are available in 4.5\u201d, 5.5\u201d and 7.25\u201d diameters in 1, 2, 3, or 4 disc configurations. They feature great linear engagement and friction life with a positive feel. All PTT products are designed on the latest CAD system and PTT has in-house capabilities that allow a wide range of clutch and drivetrain system development.<\/p>\n
\u201cPTT is a perfect addition to the McLeod clutch product line,\u201d says Paul Lee. \u201cWe\u2019re all excited about acquiring the technology for the small diameter clutches and driveline components including their world class 7.25\u201d assembly. I was very impressed with the quality and high technology built into every PTT product. We plan to continue to grow PTT from what founder Steve Fox and his crew have built.\u201d<\/p>\n
This acquisition will expand the McLeod line to continue to grow into the one-stop-shop for all of our customers\u2019 drivetrain needs.<\/p>\n
PTT\u2019s founder, Steve Fox, will join the McLeod Company as a consultant while continuing to service his hydraulic street release bearing customers under the new company name PTB-USA, Inc.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a very high regard for Paul Lee and what he has accomplished with McLeod,\u201d says Steve Fox, \u201cI look forward to working closely with the McLeod staff to ensure a smooth transition of PTT clutch knowledge and workmanship.\u201d<\/p>\n
