- WalterBright 5y agoDo you mean why Saginaw is the best? Because Boeing didn't have problems with defective parts coming from Saginaw. The Saginaw people knew what they were doing. Boeing didn't trust anyone else, as these are critical parts. I wish I could have taken one of the jackscrews home and mounted it over the fireplace like some people mount a sword :-)

Saginaw Division was renamed Delphi Steering" "With Delphi entering a lengthy bankruptcy proceeding, GM purchased Delphi Steering through their subsidiary, GM Global Steering Holdings LLC, in 2009 and renamed the company, Nexteer Automotive" "Nexteer was acquired by Pacific Century Motors on November 29, 2010" "Originally, Pacific Century was a subsidiary of E-town, the Beijing municipal government's investment company, and Tempo Group, a Chinese car component manufacturer." "In March 2011, AVIC Automobile Industry Holding Co., a Chinese state-owned parts manufacturer, purchased a 51 percent interest in Pacific Century Motors."
