Linamar to Acquire Aludyne’s North American Assets, Expanding Structural Casting Capabilities!

Linamar Corporation, a leading diversified manufacturer based in Guelph, Ontario, has announced a definitive agreement to acquire select assets of Aludyne Inc.’s North American operations in a deal valued at approximately US$300 million. Aludyne, a Tier 1 automotive supplier recognized for its expertise in lightweight aluminum chassis and structural technologies, will transfer key manufacturing assets to Linamar, marking a major step in strengthening Linamar’s structural casting and machining capabilities across North America.

This acquisition significantly enhances Linamar’s Structures and Chassis business by adding Aludyne’s advanced aluminum casting, precision machining, and design capabilities. The acquired operations will become part of the Linamar Structures Group within its Mobility segment, enabling the company to deliver a broader range of propulsion-agnostic structural components—including knuckles, subframes, control arms, and axle housings—to major OEM customers.

The addition of these U.S.-based assets expands Linamar’s manufacturing footprint, improving its ability to serve customers locally and fortify supply chain resilience amid evolving trade dynamics and regulatory changes. It also opens new opportunities for collaboration between Linamar’s Canadian and U.S. facilities, further promoting innovation and integration in advanced casting and machining processes.

“We are thrilled to welcome the Aludyne teams into the Linamar family,” said Linda Hasenfratz, executive chair of Linamar. “This acquisition enhances our leadership in propulsion-agnostic, lightweight aluminum casting and machining technologies. Aludyne’s proprietary light metal casting technology offers great growth potential for our structural casting business and further strengthens our Mobility segment.”

Jim Jarrell, CEO and president of Linamar, added, “This is another example of how Linamar’s strong financial position, operational excellence, and proven track record of successful integrations create new opportunities in the market. The acquisition also reinforces supply chain stability for our OEM customers, and we look forward to completing the transaction and integrating Aludyne North America into our global Mobility operations.”

With this move, Linamar continues to build on its strategic growth trajectory, emphasizing advanced manufacturing technologies and sustainable mobility solutions. The acquisition not only scales up Linamar’s production capacity in North America but also deepens its technological expertise in lightweight materials—crucial for the next generation of electric and hybrid vehicles.
