The company moved to Longview, TX, in 1958 to expand the company and began manufacturing new truck parts, including dual wheel adapters, hub hose carriers, drum check gauges and exhaust accessories. This move led to an increase in production and employee growth. In 1964, Stemco was purchased by Garlock Inc, an industrial sealing company.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://stemco.com/company/history/ )〕 In the following decades, Stemco began designing and manufacturing new products for use in the commercial trucking industry, such as hub oil seals, hubodometers and other products which have become standard additions to OEM truck component manufacturers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=http://www.truckinginfo.com/channel/aftermarket/news/story/2007/02/stemco-skybitz-team-up-on-trailer-tracking.aspx )〕 In 2007, Stemco began acquiring and partnering with other trucking equipment manufacturers.
