Linamar Corp Bolsters US Manufacturing with $300 Million Acquisition

Linamar Corp's $300M US Expansion

Guelph, Ontario – October 2025 – Canadian auto parts giant Linamar Corporation has announced a major expansion of its U.S. manufacturing operations through a $300 million USD acquisition of select North American assets from Aludyne Inc., a Tier 1 automotive supplier specializing in lightweight aluminum chassis and structural technologies. The deal, revealed on October 9, 2025, will significantly enhance Linamar’s structural casting capabilities and broaden its footprint across North America, with key facilities in the United States, including locations in Michigan, Indiana, and North Carolina.

This strategic move is expected to boost Linamar’s production capacity in high-demand areas like aluminum casting and machining, supporting the growing electric vehicle and lightweighting trends in the automotive sector. While the acquisition shifts focus toward U.S.-based operations, company officials clarified it is not a direct response to recent tariff policies. The transaction is poised to strengthen Linamar’s competitive edge in the North American market, with closure anticipated in the near future.
