Affinia Group Completes Sale of Global Chassis Group

Affinia Group Inc. announced that the company has closed the sale of its global chassis business to an affiliate of Federal-Mogul Corporation. The gross consideration was US$150 million.

“The divestiture of our Global Chassis group gives us a greater opportunity to focus on our Global Filtration and Affinia South America segments, both of which provide strong growth opportunities in the markets they serve,” said Keith Wilson, president and chief executive officer for Affinia Group Inc.  “We extend our appreciation to the individuals within the Chassis team who helped lead and grow this business group over the years and wish them continued success.”

The chassis business is comprised of over 350 people in five locations, including operations in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Ramsey, New Jersey; McHenry, Illinois; Fort Wayne, Indiana and Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
