As the global leader in its niche segments, SHW leverages its 660+ year heritage and technical expertise in powertrain electrification and emission reduction. The company operates through two primary segments—Pumps and Engine Components, and Brake Discs—with a strategic focus on hybrid and electric vehicle technologies.
Cyborg Score Rationale
