Headquartered in Troy, MI, SMW Automotive is an international Tier 1 supplier of automotive chassis and suspension parts and subassemblies. The company specializes in the design, engineering, validation, machining and assembly of cast iron, aluminum and forged steel automotive components.

The funds were used to partially fund the acquisition of SMW by Platinum Equity in the first quarter of this year and to provide for ongoing working capital needs.
