Global Leaders in Manufacturing Excellence
Amsted Automotive was formed in 2021 through the integration of two century old companies: Burgess-Norton (Est. 1903), Means Industries (Est. 1922). This merger also brought together Transform Automotive (Est. 1997), a wholly owned subsidiary of Means Industries, and SMW Manufacturing (Est. 2004). With 21 facilities across North America, Europe, and Asia, the company supports global automotive, off-highway, and mining industries — producing over 200 million components and assemblies annually.
Capabilities include advanced metal-forming, cold-forming, powder metallurgy technologies, as well as innovative propulsion solutions for electrified, hybrid, and internal combustion engine powertrain systems. With global manufacturing including 13 U.S.-based facilities, Amsted minimizes tariff risks and supply delays through its ability to manufacturer in the customer’s region.
