Federal Mogul: Өндірістік өнімдерді дамытушы, өндіруші және жеткізуші компанияның тарихы

American developer, manufacturer and supplier of industrial products

Federal Mogul operated two independent business divisions, Federal Mogul Powertrain and Federal Mogul Motor Parts. The two divisions each had their own chief executive officer.

Federal Mogul was founded in 1899 in Detroit by J. Howard Muzzy and Edward F. Lyon as the Muzzy Lyon Company. Muzzy and Lyon went into business together, producing mill supplies and rubber goods. Muzzy Lyon began producing bearings made from their own Babbitt metal called Mogul, an alloy of tin, antimony and copper. The product was trademarked under the names "Mogul" and "Duro". In the late 1950s, the company opened business operations in Switzerland, In 1963, Federal Mogul Bower's Arrowhead division manufactured components for NASA's Saturn launch vehicle. In 1966, Federal Mogul Corporation relocated its corporate headquarters from downtown Detroit to Southfield, Michigan. That same year, the company won a claim in the Supreme Court to the patent.

In 1998, the company acquired the Automotive Products division of Cooper Industries, with brands including Anco wiper blades, Champion ignition, MOOG chassis, and Wagner and Blazer lighting. It also acquired Cooper's Abex Friction products business, which included asbestos containing products. That same year, Federal Mogul acquired Turner & Newall, a building materials company based in Manchester, UK. Turner & Newall was one of the world's largest manufacturers of asbestos related products, including those made with blue crocidolite asbestos mined in South Africa. Turner & Newall was responsible for the Armley asbestos disaster in Leeds, UK. After the acquisition, Federal Mogul set aside approximately $2.1 billion to cover asbestos related claims but that amount proved insufficient. The large number of products liability claims that came with the Turner & Newall acquisition were largely responsible for Federal Mogul's federal Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in 2002. The company emerged from Chapter 11 reorganization in January 2008, and in April 2008, the company listed Class A common stock on NASDAQ under the trading symbol FDML. The Asia Pacific headquarters and technical center facility contains powertrain dynamometers and vehicle braking test cells among other processes. The acquisition of the group included operations in China, Sweden and Germany. Rainer juckstock former senior vice president of the company's Powertrain Energy business, was named CEO for the Powertrain segment effective April 1, 2012. In September 2014, the company formally announced the long awaited modification to its corporate structure a split into two separate companies: Federal Mogul Powertrain and Federal Mogul Motor Parts. The Powertrain division will focus on manufacturing and selling OEM auto parts, while the Motor Parts division will be responsible for selling aftermarket parts. Each company will have its own CEO and corporate level staff, who will continue to report to the board of directors of Federal Mogul Holding Corporation. The company expects the split to be completed in the first half of 2015, pending regulatory approval. In 2014, Honeywell completed a $155 million sale of its friction materials business to Federal Mogul. In December 2016, Federal Mogul completed the acquisition of the Beck/Arnley brand and certain associated assets. Based in Smyrna, Tennessee, Beck/Arnley is a provider of parts and fluids for foreign nameplate vehicles in North America. In January 2017, majority shareholder Carl Icahn completed a $300 million deal for all of Federal Mogul's stock, after which he changed the company from a public company to a private company. In April 2018, Tenneco announced that they had purchased Federal Mogul in a deal worth approximately US$5.4 billion. On October 1, 2018, Tenneco Inc. completed its acquisition. Bower Roller Bearing Division was a major supplier of bearings for missiles and aircraft, and for many other industries – automotive, construction machinery, machine tool and farm equipment.
