Yesterday

We were founded on a spirit of innovation. 

We began in an era of dramatic change in transportation. In the 1940s, we built scale as a diversified automotive and truck component supplier, making trucks safer, more reliable and more efficient. We expanded our portfolio in the 1970s beyond truck and auto, creating a diversified industrial.  By the start of the new century, we had refocused as a power management company.

Today

We've never stopped transforming.

Today, we've transformed into an intelligent power management company with operations in 170 countries, more than 91,000 employees and $20.8 billion in revenues in 2022. As we've evolved, we've stayed focused on our responsibility to our key stakeholders -- our employees, customers, shareholders, communities -- and all of society. 

Tomorrow

We're looking ahead to what's next.

We're now at the forefront of some of the most important growth trends that we will see in our lifetime -- electrification, the energy transition and digitalization are positioning us for a growth super cycle that will put us on the leading edge of solving the world's intelligent power management needs.

We're delivering solutions to address the world's most urgent power management challenges and improve the environment and quality of life for people everywhere.
