OPINION

KIRSCH, Chief Judge.

Ruth G. Briggs appeals the granting of summary judgment in favor of Griffin Wheel Corporation ("Griffin Wheel") and Railroad Friction Products ("RFP"), (collectively, the "defendants"). Briggs raises several issues on appeal, one of which we find dispositive: whether the trial court erred in granting summary judgment to the defendants based upon the statute of repose.1

We affirm.
