Even if cars of the future drive themselves, it takes a lot of people to make those cars safe. The people at TRW Automotive work hard to make cars as safe as possible, no matter what type of car it is, or who is driving it.
The company supplies safety systems for braking; steering and suspension; and occupant safety, including airbags, seat belts and steering wheels. TRW supplies more than 40 major vehicle manufacturers, and had sales of $16.4 billion in 2012. The Fowlerville, MI, facility, built in 1995, provides a glimpse of the success the company has had worldwide.
