FDP Brakes announced the hiring of Terry Kloster who will join the company in the role of the newly created position of Senior Product Manager.

“I am very excited to have Terry joining the FDP Team,” said John Carney, Vice President of Sales & Operations. “Terry brings a significant amount of technical and product knowledge and his ability to manage and coordinate with engineers, executives, vendors, R&D partners, regulators and clients will be a huge asset to us.”

Prior to joining FDP, Kloster served in various positions with Brake Parts Inc., formerly Affinia Group, for over 25 years.

“After my first meeting with Terry I realized FDP had to bring him on board,” Carney said. “People with 25+ years experience in the North American friction market and a resume like Terry’s simply do not walk through your door everyday. I am thrilled to introduce him to our team and to our customers.”
