BWI Group

About BWI Group

BWI Group — short for BeijingWest Industries Co., Ltd. — is a global Tier-1 automotive supplier whose roots in chassis engineering stretch back more than a century. The company's lineage traces through Dayton Engineering Laboratories, Delco Products, Delco Chassis, and ultimately Delphi Chassis Systems before BeijingWest Industries formally established the BWI Group brand in 2009 through the acquisition of Delphi Corporation's chassis division. That transaction brought with it more than 1,000 patents, patent applications, trade secrets, and records of invention — an intellectual property portfolio that continues to underpin BWI's position at the forefront of suspension and braking technology.

A Heritage of Innovation

BWI Group's engineering pedigree dates to the 1920s, when its predecessor businesses began manufacturing shock absorbers. Over the following decades, the company introduced the all-welded shock absorber, the vacuum booster, disc brakes, air-adjustable shocks, and — in the 1970s — the modern suspension strut. Today, BWI's product portfolio spans passive dampers and strut modules all the way to electronically controlled systems. The flagship MagneRide® controlled suspension technology, which debuted on the 2002.5 Cadillac Seville STS and the 2003 Chevrolet Corvette 50th Anniversary Edition, remains one of the most celebrated active suspension platforms in the industry and continues to appear on premium vehicles from manufacturers worldwide.

Global Reach, OEM-Grade Quality

BWI Group supplies brake and suspension components to an extraordinary range of automakers — from everyday brands like Ford, GM, and Chevrolet to exotic marques including Ferrari, Porsche, and Lamborghini. Manufacturing and technical facilities are located across China, North America (including the United States and Mexico), and Europe (including the United Kingdom, Poland, and the Czech Republic), with test tracks positioned around the globe. This worldwide footprint allows BWI engineers to tailor products to the specific driving characteristics and regulatory requirements of each target market, ensuring every part delivers the right balance of ride comfort, handling precision, and long-term durability.

Suspension & Chassis Products

At the core of the BWI catalog are the suspension strut assemblies and individual suspension struts that inherit decades of Delphi-era engineering refinement. For vehicles equipped with electronically controlled ride systems, BWI's air suspension struts deliver the precise, load-adaptive damping that luxury and performance platforms demand. Complementing these components are suspension strut mounts, which isolate noise and vibration at the critical interface between the strut and the vehicle body, and transmission mounts that draw on BWI's Magneto-Rheological fluid technology to actively manage powertrain movement and cabin refinement.
