Company history
BorgWarner’s roots include the Morse Equalizing Springs Company, founded in 1880, and Warner Gear, established by Tom and Harry Warner in 1901. Warner Gear developed a standard transmission for multiple car makers in 1919. Borg-Warner Corporation was formed in 1928 by combining Borg & Beck, Marvel-Schebler, Warner Gear and Mechanics Universal Joint; Morse joined the following year.[25][26][27] In 1952, BorgWarner turbochargers were used in vehicles competing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.[28]
The company expanded through acquisitions, including Kuhlman Corporation in 1999 and Remy International in 2015.[29][30] Frédéric Lissalde became CEO in 2018; in 2020, BorgWarner completed its acquisition of Delphi Technologies, adding power-electronics capabilities.[31][32] In 2023, PHINIA separated from BorgWarner in a spin-off. Joseph F. Fadool succeeded Lissalde as CEO in February 2025.[33][34]
