GM Components Holdings LLC will include four of Delphi’s U.S.-based component manufacturing facilities: two New York-based operations, Thermal Systems in Lockport, N.Y., and Powertrain Systems in Rochester, N.Y.; as well as Delphi Powertrain Systems Grand Rapids (in Wyoming, Mich.) and Delphi Electronics and Safety in Kokomo, Ind.
A second subsidiary, GM Global Steering Holdings LLC, will include Delphi’s Steering operations in Saginaw, Mich., and most of the global steering manufacturing operations and engineering centers located in Europe, Mexico, South America and Asia.
The acquired operations were formerly part of Delphi Corporation, based in Troy, Mich., a leading global supplier of mobile electronics and transportation systems. The four U.S.-based components operations and the global steering business also supply many non-GM customers, including leading U.S. automotive, motorcycle and heavy equipment manufacturers. These actions will provide these other OEMs with a reliable source of supply and protection of their intellectual property.
“The Delphi component plants and global steering operations provide critical parts and technologies that are necessary to produce our GM cars and trucks,” said Gary Cowger, Group Vice President of Global Manufacturing and Labor. “The strength of the technology and products that these operations deliver is evident by the more than 60 customers they support globally.”
