Federal Mogul sells connecting rod and camshaft business

Federal-Mogul Corporation’s Powertrain Segment  has sold  its connecting rod and camshaft business to JD Norman Industries, Inc. The sale involves Federal Mogul’s sole connecting rod machining plant, located in Windsor, Canada and only camshaft foundry, located in Lydney, United Kingdom. As part of the agreement JD Norman Industries will continue to employ Federal-Mogul’s current 230 associates working in these two facilities.

“The Windsor and Lydney plants are respected for their experience and high quality operations by their customers, including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Linamar, Jaguar, Land Rover, PSA and others, however the connecting rod and camshaft business is not core to Federal-Mogul Powertrain’s long-term portfolio strategy,” said Rainer Jueckstock, Federal Mogul’s co-CEO and CEO Federal-Mogul Powertrain.

“These plants will benefit from the industrial experience, business strategy and respected relationships with key customers offered by the JD Norman management team. We will work with them to ensure a smooth transition for customers, employees and other stakeholders.”
