American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc. (now Dauch Corporation)

A maker of axles, driveshafts, and other driveline parts that transfer power to the wheels, Dauch Corporation (formerly American Axle & Manufacturing) supplies automakers like GM — its axles power vehicles such as the Chevrolet Tahoe and Cadillac Escalade. Founded in 1994 when auto veteran Richard "Dick" Dauch led investors to buy five driveline and forging plants General Motors was selling, it kept its Detroit roots. The company renamed itself Dauch Corporation in 2026, honoring its founder.
