Histori
When aerospace company Northrop Grumman bought a TRW competitor in 2002, he sold the TRW automotive division to a private equity firm Blackstone Group. TRW Automotive became a public company in IPO in February 2004, after which Blackstone owns 56.7% stake in TRW, Northrop Grumman, 17.2%, and TRW management, 1.7%. The company can trace its history back to the beginning of TRW Inc in 1901, but was incorporated as TRW Automotive in 2002.
On September 15, 2014, it was announced that German auto component maker ZF Friedrichshafen would buy TRW Automotive for about $ 13.5 billion including debt. The takeover is completed on May 15, 2015, and TRW Automotive now operates as part of ZF Friedrichshafen AG, as the 'Active & amp; Passive Security Technology '.
