Pure Drivetrain Solutions, led by Chris Miller, and Boninfante Friction, led by Rob Boninfante, have joined forces to create a new company called Standard Drivetrain. The company will be led by industry veteran Michael Cargill, who will serve as CEO.

"High performance requires high performers," said Boninfante. "When Chris and I started talking about combining our businesses, there was only one name that we considered to lead the team."

Cargill brings decades of experience in the automotive aftermarket to the table, most recently as category manager for Schaeffler Automotive, where he focused on introducing torque converters into Schaeffler's broad aftermarket product line. Prior, Cargill was a product manager at Transtar Industries. In addition, Cargill recently fulfilled two terms as president of the Board of Directors of the Torque Converter Rebuilders Association.

Standard Drivetrain is associated with the following brands: Jase Composites, Pure Drivetrain Solutions, CMR (Chris Miller Racing) Productions, Sterling Auto Group, Boninfante Friction, ProTorque, BMF Engineering and Kenny's Diesel & Pullin'.
