How it started

History

American Axle & Manufacturing (AAM) was founded in 1994 when a private investor group, led by Richard E. "Dick" Dauch, James W. McLernon, Raymond Park and Morton E. Harris purchased the Final Drive and Forge Business Unit from GM's Saginaw Division.

In 1999, AAM went public, and was traded as "AXL" on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) until becoming "DCH" on its 2026 renaming to Dauch. AAM grew to supply various OEM manufacturers around the globe in the passenger car, light truck, and commercial vehicle segments.

The company's World Headquarters building, erected in 2004, is located on the Detroit/Hamtramck border.

AAM was renamed Dauch in 2026.
