Our technology and engineering are at the heart of vehicles and aircraft from the world's leading automotive, offhighway and aerospace manufacturers.

There are approximately 40,000 GKN people in more than 30 countries and every day we harness our global technology and manufacturing resources to supply the highest quality components, systems, structures and services.

When we fulfil the trust our customers place in us we can enrich our shareholders and support the communities of which we are a part. And because we care for the environment and the dignity and human rights of others we are all building a business which can be sustained by future generations.

Every stakeholder in a great company should expect nothing less. But those with a stake in GKN should expect more.

Expect more from the people of GKN.
