Company Description:
Dana Holding Corporation began during the formative years of the motor vehicle industry itself. In fact, the company's first product - the Spicer encased universal joint - pushed the idea of the horseless carriage forward by replacing the crude means of transmitting engine power to the wheels through two sprockets and a chain.
Likewise, the inventors and entrepreneurs behind Spicer axles and transmissions, Victor Reinz gaskets, and Long radiators were industry pioneers themselves.
More than a century later, Dana still leads in developing and supplying automakers - on a global basis today - with a broad portfolio of driveline, sealing, and thermal-management technologies. From the corner of a printing press company in Plainfield, New Jersey, where u-joints were first made by engineering student-turned-business owner Clarence Spicer and three new hires in 1904, the company today employs 21,000 in nearly 100 facilities, including 14 technical centers, in 26 countries.
