Russ Stebbins named GM of Sensata’s aftermarket business

Sensata Technologies, the company behind the Schrader TPMS equipment brand, has appointed Russ Stebbins general manager of the Global Aftermarket business unit. He brings more than 25 years of automotive experience to his new role, including positions with well-known brands such as TRW, Lumileds, and Akebono Brake Corporation in the past decade.

“I am excited to be part of Sensata’s aftermarket family – we have a history of impressive growth with our flagship brand Schrader and a bright future ahead of us.” says Stebbins. “I am humbled to work with this team of experts to continue bringing Sensata’s OE expertise to the aftermarket. I am confident in our ability to realise the full potential of our current TPMS business as well as the many other OE-leading sensing products Sensata offers.”

Kelly Sadler, who previously served as the business unit’s general manager, now leads the integration of Preco, a supplier of radar solutions that Sensata recently acquired. Sadler is credited with playing a pivotal role in expanding Sensata’s aftermarket product portfolio globally over the past two years. “Many thanks to Kelly for her leadership over the past two years and her support with my on-boarding to this role. I wish her the best in her future endeavours,” says Stebbins.
