## History

In 1988, Magna formed Tesma International to manufacture engine and transmission parts. Tesma was spun off into a public company in 1995 while retaining affiliation with Magna.[1]

In 2001, founded Magna Steyr (through an acquisition), to engineer, develop and assemble automobiles for other companies on a contractual basis. In April 2004, Magna transferred the powertrain operations of Magna Steyr to a new subsidiary called Magna Drivetrain, to focus on engineering and assembly of chassis, driveline subsystems, and modules. Magna stated the new company would better address the growing importance of all-wheel drive powertrains.[2] In September 2004,[3] Magna acquired the global operations of New Venture Gear from DaimlerChrysler for an estimated price of $435 million, and integrated it with Magna Drivetrain. The acquisition helped establish the newly formed Magna Drivetrain group as a major supplier of four-wheel and all-wheel drive systems manufactured in Europe and North America.[4]

Tesma was privatized again by Magna in December 2004.[5][6] In 2005, Magna merged Magna Drivetrain with Tesma to form Magna Powertrain.[7] In July 2015 Magna Powertrain acquired Getrag, a major transmission manufacturer, for $1.9 billion.[8] The acquisition gave Magna Powertrain access to Getrag's transmission systems, including recent hybrid designs.[9]
