Metaldyne Corporation · Plymouth, MI United States

You won't find much metal in a car's cockpit these days. To find Metaldyne's products, look under the hood or under the car. Metaldyne makes metal-formed products for engine and transmission applications. It focuses on powertrain products such as balance shaft modules, differential assemblies, clutch modules, and exhaust components. Other units make vibration control (dampers, isolation pulleys), sintered (connecting rods, bearing caps), and forged parts. Major customers include automakers Chrysler, Ford, GM, and Toyota, as well as parts suppliers, such as Cummins, Delphi, and ArvinMeritor. Metaldyne filed for Chapter 11 protection from creditors in 2009 and sold its assets to MD Investors later that year. To read the full description, subscribe now.
