YOKOHAMA, Japan – May 23, 2025 – ConMet, a global leader in wheel end systems, structural components, and advanced vehicle technologies for the commercial vehicle industry, made its debut appearance at the Automotive Engineering Exposition (JSAE) 2025 in Yokohama, held May 21–23. Exhibiting alongside Amsted Automotive at Booth N-27, ConMet introduced its latest innovations in Commercial Vehicle (CV) wheel end technologies, drawing strong interest from OEMs and industry professionals across the region.
At the center of ConMet’s showcase were its PreSet Plus® hub assemblies, available in both disc and drum brake configurations. Engineered for durability and performance, these lightweight, pre-adjusted hub assemblies deliver long service life, reduced maintenance, and enhanced vehicle safety – core attributes that translate into significantly lower total cost of ownership for fleets. These industry-leading solutions have been widely adopted by top global OEMs.
Built with high-strength materials and integrated spindle nut assemblies, PreSet Plus hub assemblies simplify maintenance, improve reliability, and help prevent component loosening. Their lightweight design contributes to overall vehicle efficiency without compromising performance.
“Bringing our PreSet Plus solutions to JSAE marks a significant step in expanding ConMet’s presence in East Asia,” said Anson Xu, Sales Vice President of ConMet China. “We’re proud to introduce our technology to the Japanese market and strengthen our ties with customers and partners across the Asia-Pacific region.”
