This alignment of businesses will utilize advanced technology from Roush Yates and the superior distribution system of PMI to bring customers newly developed technical products that surpass anything in their field. Furthermore, Roush Yates will work directly with PMI’s engineering departments to develop new components for future RYE engine programs and to expand the company’s extensive performance product line.
PMI, parent company for industry leading performance brands such as JE Pistons, K1 Technologies, Wiseco Performance Products, Innovate Motorsports, and ProX Performance Products, is widely known for their emphasis on engineering and manufacturing technology, making them an ideal partner for Roush Yates.
