History
Dana Incorporated has been transforming the mobility industry since its founding in 1904.
From the invention of the encased universal joint, which literally unchained the industry by eliminating sprockets and chains, to the development of fully integrated propulsion systems for today’s most complex electrified powertrains, Dana remains a leader in revolutionizing power conveyance. Over the years, our products have helped drive history’s greatest vehicles—from the Model T and the World War II-era Jeep, to one of the first mass-produced battery-electric vehicles. Our products are found in 18-wheel rigs, giant earth-moving machines, and some of the fastest high-performance sports cars on the market. Today, we’re proud to say we’re one of only 52 companies that has made the Fortune 500 list every year since it was first published in 1955 and remain one of the longest-standing companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
