GETRAG Business Report FY ended Dec. 2014

Acquired by Magna International

-In January 2016, the Company was acquired by Magna International, a Canada-based leading automotive component supplier.

Contracts

-The Company is supplying two new manual transmissions for the third generation of the Mini. They are designed for the new generation of BMW engines which are characterized by higher torque and lower consumption, amongst other things. One key feature of the transmissions is the torque capacity in relation to the weight, which is around 15% higher compared to the manual transmissions used previously. They are designed for maximum torques of 220 and 360 Nm. Thanks to a new main bearing holder and functions integrated into the housing, some 30 components could be eliminated. Production of both transmissions could be assigned outright to the Rosenberg plant in Germany. To meet the higher production volumes, the Company is investing a total of EUR 45 million in expanding the site. (From a press release on June 11, 2014)
