Federal-Mogul Corporation was founded in 1899 as the Muzzy-Lyon Company.
The same year, the partners set up an early subsidiary company, the Mogul Metal
Company to manufacture new bearing alloys. Federal-Mogul has seen its name
change throughout its history. The Mogul Metal Company became Federal-Mogul
Corporation on May 1, 1924, when the company merged with Federal-Bearing and
Bushing, a manufacturer of engine bearings and bushings.
Then on
July 29, 1955, Federal-Mogul merged with the Bower Roller Bearing Company, a
producer of straight and tapered roller bearings, to form Federal-Mogul-Bower
Bearings, Inc.
Federal-Mogul-Bower
Bearings, Inc. acquired The National Motor Bearing Co. (National Seal Division)
on July 27, 1956. The company's name was changed back to Federal-Mogul
Corporation on April 27, 1965. One year later, Federal-Mogul's World
Headquarters officially relocated from its location in downtown Detroit to
Southfield, Michigan on July 28, 1966.
Throughout
the 1980s, Federal-Mogul made acquisitions and entered into joint ventures to
strengthen its manufacturing position. Federal-Mogul
acquired the Mather Company, a manufacturer of high performance sealing products
and a leader in PTFE technology in July 1985. On January 22, the company
acquired Carter Automotive Company, Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of
automotive fuel pumps and on September 15, Federal-Mogul acquired Signal-Stat
division, a manufacturer, marketer and distributor for lighting and safety
components.
On August
24, 1989 Federal-Mogul completed a joint venture agreement with G. Bruss GmbH
and Co. KG, a German manufacturer of seals and specialty molded products.
Federal-Mogul
continued to strengthen its operations through additional acquisitions in the
1990's. Later that year on October 30, Federal-Mogul completed the acquisition
of Glyco AG, a German manufacturer of automotive and diesel engine bearings.
On October
16, 1997 Federal-Mogul announced its acquisition of T&N plc, one of the
