But if the experience of American suppliers is any guide, it won’t be easy. Decade of change A decade ago, U.S. suppliers held eight of the top 10 slots. But failed deals and financial engineering cost them position. And the Detroit 3’s plunging production volumes slammed U.S.-based suppliers that rely heavily on those customers. Another factor: Many U.S.-based suppliers lost North American sales as they followed automaker customers on overseas expansions. Delphi, for instance, is in Chapter 11 reorganization in the United States but not overseas. So it has sold off North American operations, while making markets such as China the centerpiece of its global growth strategy. Automotive News bases its annual ranking on sales of original-equipment parts to automakers and other suppliers in North America. The bulk of the data come directly from the companies, but in some cases the sales numbers are estimated. Pulling back Some of the companies that suffered the greatest sales drops last year can’t blame falling Detroit 3 sales. For some, the cause was a retreat from grandiose growth plans. Take Lear Corp. It slipped a notch to the No. 4 position after its sales declined 26.6 percent to $7.19 billion. Last year Lear dumped its moneylosing North American interior trim businesses. ArvinMeritor Inc.’s sales fell 34.6 percent. That dropped the sunroof and chassis supplier from No. 10 to No. 15. Last week the company said it will spin off its light-vehicle operations into a new company, eight years after the merger of Arvin Industries Inc. and Meritor Inc. Or consider the Detroit 3’s former parts-making arms. After being spun off from General Motors, Delphi held the No. 1 spot in both North America and the world for more than a decade. But in 2006 Robert Bosch GmbH passed it in global sales. And in 2007 it fell to No. 2 in sales to customers in North America. Asset sales, driven by the Chapter 11 filing of its North American operations, contributed to a 14.8 percent drop in its North American revenues. Former Ford Motor Co. division Visteon Corp. long ranked No. 2. Last year it slipped to No. 12. 1 Magna International Inc. $13,592 2 Delphi Corp. 11,810 3 Johnson Controls Inc. 7,585 f 4 Lear Corp. 7,198 5 Robert Bosch LLC 6,460 fe 6 Denso International America Inc. 5,805 fe 7 Continental AG 5,250 fe 8 Dana Corp. 4,797 f 9 TRW Automotive Inc. 4,067 f 10 ThyssenKrupp USA Inc. 3,876 fe 11 Aisin World Corp. of America 3,755 fe 12 Visteon Corp. 3,431 13 International Automotive Components 3,290 14 American Axle & Manufacturing 3,086 e 15 ArvinMeritor Inc. 3,008 16 Yazaki North America Inc. 2,793 e 17 Faurecia 2,610 18 Navistar International Engine Group 2,545 e 19 Flex-N-Gate Corp. 2,394 fe 20 Tenneco Inc. 2,337 f 21 Hitachi Automotive Products Inc. 2,280 fe 22 Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd. 2,151 e 23 Cummins Inc. 2,104 24 BorgWarner Inc. 1,972 25 TK Holdings Inc. 1,964 f 26 Toyota Boshoku Corp. 1,944 f 27 GKN Driveline 1,925 e 28 Martinrea International Inc. 1,866 29 Valeo Inc. 1,861 e 30 CalsonicKansei North America Inc. 1,792 fe 31 Benteler Automotive Corp. 1,773 32 Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. 1,755 e 33 DuPont Automotive 1,743 fe 34 PPG Industries Inc. 1,700 e 35 ZF Group NAO 1,661 e 36 Nemak North America 1,651 f 37 Autoliv North America 1,632 38 TS Tech North America Inc. 1,563 f 39 Cooper-Standard Automotive 1,531 f 40 Plastech Engineered Products Inc. 1,400 41 Linamar Corp. 1,379 e 42 Alcoa Inc. 1,375 fe 43 Metaldyne Corp. 1,341 44 Federal-Mogul Corp. 1,313 f 45 Panasonic Automotive Systems 1,311 46 Mahle Inc. 1,303 fe 47 Koyo Corp. of USA 1,303 48 Toyoda Gosei North America Corp. 1,160 49 Bridgestone Americas Holding Inc. 1,125 e 50 Eaton Corp. 1,120 51 Trim Masters Inc. 1,115 e 52 Michelin North America Inc. 1,109 e 53 Tower Automotive Inc. 1,068 e 54 Tyco Electronics 977 e 55 Timken Co. 960 e 56 Superior Industries International Inc. 957 f 57 Keihin Indiana Precision Technology Inc. 944 f 58 Behr America Inc. 889 59 Intermet 825 e 60 TRAM Inc. 791 61 TI Automotive Ltd. 790 fe 62 Dura Automotive Systems Inc. 758 f 63 NTN USA Corp. 750 e 64 ABC Group 744 65 American Showa Inc. 742 f 66 Mitsubishi Electric Automotive 714 fe 67 Ernie Green Industries Inc. 704 fe 68 Meridian Automotive Systems 700 fe 69 F & P America Mfg.
