BorgWarner Inc. supplies the automobile industry with transmissions, turbochargers, four-wheel drive technology and other components. The modern company was organized in 1928, although its roots date to 1880. An early incarnation, Warner Gear, manufactured the first manual transmission. Another predecessor, Borg & Beck, produced carburetors. Today, BorgWarner operates in 60 locations in 18 countries, with approximately 14,000 employees worldwide. BorgWarner reported 2008 sales of $5.3 billion. That was down slightly from 2007 and occasioned the elimination of 4,400 jobs but, according to General Counsel John Gasparovic, the company still occupies a “sweet spot” in its field, since many of its products reduce emissions or improve fuel economy. BorgWarner ranks No. 453 on Fortune magazine’s list of the country’s largest companies. World headquarters is in Auburn Hills, Mich.
