By providing his insights and vision for the future, Frankiewicz will now take on a significant role influencing the vision for the future of commercial vehicle supplier industry. 

“I am honored to step in as a member of the board of directors at the HDMA and I look forward to continue the work of the HDMA to advance the motor vehicle industry from a new vantage point. With an ever-evolving market both on a macro as well as on a micro level, the work done by the HDMA and MEMA is more important now than ever and I’m excited to contribute with my experience and knowledge,” said Frankiewicz.

Partnership is the new leadership and I intend to enhance the impact our partnerships and collaboration can make,” said Frankiewicz regarding his new roles within the HDMA.
