American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings Inc. Is Now ‘Dauch Corporation’

American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings Inc. announced that on Jan. 23, 2026, the company changed its name to Dauch Corporation (“Dauch”) by filing an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Name Change”). The Name Change and the Amendment became effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on Jan. 26, 2026.

As a result of the Name Change, effective Feb. 5, 2026, the Common Stock will cease trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the name “American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings Inc.” and under the ticker symbol “AXL” and will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the name “Dauch Corporation” and under new ticker symbol, “DCH.” The CUSIP of the company’s common stock will not change in connection with the Name Change or the ticker symbol change. Following the Name Change, existing stock certificates, which reflect the former name of the company, will continue to be valid unless and until such certificates are exchanged for new stock certificates reflecting the new name of the company, officials stated in a press release.

“This is a transformational moment for our company and its stockholders and another visible milestone in our long-term strategy as we prepare for the planned business acquisition of Dowlais Group and its subsidiaries,” said David C. Dauch, chairman and chief executive officer of Dauch Corporation. “The name stands for clarity, confidence and a commitment to performance with a legacy of leadership that has helped shape engineering and manufacturing. It represents a responsibility to our stakeholders, a dedication to operational excellence, and a willingness to take bold steps as we strive to exceed today’s standards and capitalize on tomorrow’s potential.”

The new name and branding are now in effect, with a brand identity rollout that will commence with the completion of the acquisition, which is expected to occur on Feb. 3, 2026, noted the release.

No action is required by the company’s stockholders with respect to the Name Change or the ticker symbol change.
