Mickey Thompson drops Cepek suspension division

March 2, 2001

Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels has sold its Dick Cepek brand suspension components to Riverside, Calif.-based aftermarket truck parts manufacturer Supertrucks Unlimited for an undisclosed price.

Mickey Thompson acquired Cepek's suspension and off-road lighting divisions when it bought the defunct private brander last summer.

The Stow, Ohio-based company retains ownership of Cepek's lighting equipment and the Dick Cepek tire brand name, according to Roger Simmons, Mickey Thompson's advertising manager.

Cepek's suspension products had been distributed out of Thompson's Temecula, Calif., warehouse.
