“We started building transmissions in 2004 and achieved a 30,000 unit milestone in 2010,” says Mearl McBride, Willow Springs transmission division manager.  “It took only another nine years to get to 100,000, so you can see that we’re growing our production.”

Willow Springs currently has 56 associate owners assigned to its transmission division. The Willow Springs transmission division remanufactured 8,525 units in 2019, Jasper says.
