“AAM’s financial results in the second quarter of 2014 reflect strong sales growth and profitability driven by the favourable impact of increased production volumes across many of our major product programs supporting the North American light vehicle segment,” said AAM chairman, president and CEO, David Dauch.
“AAM is energised to continue supporting these and other new global product and process launches during the remainder of this year and continuing through the year 2015.
