About Amsted Automotive

Amsted Automotive was formed in 2021 through the consolidation of four independent component makers (Burgess-Norton, Means Industries, Transform Automotive, and SMW Manufacturing). The company operates 21 facilities across North America, Europe, and Asia, producing over 200 million components and assemblies annually. Its core competencies are advanced metal-forming, cold-forming, and powder-metal technologies, plus powertrain solutions for electrified, hybrid, and conventional engines. The manufacturing footprint is deliberately global: 13 U.S. facilities reduce tariff exposure and supply-chain lead times by allowing regional production for major OEM and Tier-1 customers.
