Piston Group, controlled by Detroit businessman and former NBA star, Vinnie Johnson, aims to broaden the Ohio plant’s Honda business beyond brake assemblies.
“We already do chassis and brake corner assemblies for FCA, Toyota and Ford,” said Piston Automotive president, Bob Holloway.
“This provides an opportunity for us to continue to diversify with a new customer.”
Piston Group was formed in 1995 by Johnson to serve major automakers and related OEM suppliers in the greater Detroit area.
Today’s platform has grown to include Piston Automotive, Irvin Products, Detroit Thermal Systems, and AIREA.
The Piston Group has expanded from a single facility in Detroit to multiple locations across the Midwest including Michigan, Ohio, Missouri and Kentucky.
