NTN Bearing Corporation of America announced a key transition within its Automotive Aftermarket business unit, as longtime NTN veteran John Tyma retires, and Alan Dick joins the team to support continued growth in the heavy‑duty aftermarket.
Tyma retires after 34 years of service with NTN, most recently serving as national account manager for heavy‑duty truck markets. “Throughout his distinguished career, Tyma built a reputation for expanding NTN’s heavy‑duty presence through strategic customer partnerships and market development,” the company said. His experience spans across NTN’s industrial, heavy‑duty truck and automotive aftermarket sectors, and he played a pivotal role in securing major national accounts and opening new markets for NTN and its Bower Heavy‑Duty Bearings product line.
NTN welcomes Dick, who joins the organization as national sales manager for NTN’s heavy‑duty aftermarket, filling the role vacated by Tyma. He brings deep leadership experience across the automotive aftermarket, electric vehicle and component manufacturing markets, and was appointed to his new role in November, 2025. He holds an MBA from DePaul University’s Kellstadt Graduate School of Business and a Master of Science in Economics from Oklahoma State University.
“John’s legacy is one of deep customer commitment, industry and product expertise, and unwavering support for our heavy‑duty partners. We are grateful for his decades of service and the strong foundation he leaves behind. At the same time, we are excited to welcome Alan to the team. His strategic mindset, aftermarket experience and customer‑focused approach align perfectly with our vision for long‑term growth across the heavy‑duty and automotive aftermarket channels,” said Charles Harris, NTN vice president, automotive aftermarket.
