It’s in Our DNA

 

In 2010, our company was reborn with the name of “Nexteer” – carrying with it more than 100 years of automotive heritage.

Since our inception, Nexteer has created a recent history of profitable growth and industry leadership. We have grown our footprint – opening new plants in China, India, Indonesia, Mexico and Morocco and expanding our technical capabilities within new technical and software centers in Poland, China, and India.

We have also showcased our commitment to relentless innovation – from launching the first full-size truck REPS system in 2011 to unveiling our suite of advanced steering technology in 2018 to being named a 2021 Automotive News PACEpilot Innovation to Watch for our Steer-by-Wire with Stowable Steering Column and more. Over the years and across global markets, Nexteer’s leadership in technology and other areas have garnered many awards.

Looking ahead, Nexteer remains highly focused on aligning with industry megatrends and realizing our vision to be the global leading motion control technology company accelerating mobility to be safe, green and exciting.
