History HISTORY The history of Magna can be traced to the 1950s when Mr. Stronach opened a one-man tool and die shop called Multimatic. In 1969, Multimatic merged with Magna Electronics, an aerospace, defense and industrial components manufacturer. Between 1970 and 1972, the company expanded its automotive operations and began manufacturing more stamped and electro-mechanical components. During 1973, the company's name was changed to Magna International. Magna implemented a major product diversification strategy in 1976, where the company's divisions were organized into product groups. Between 1990 and 1991, the company sold off its non-strategic operating divisions as part of its restructuring strategy. During 1996-98, Magna expanded its presence in Europe through the acquisition of several Europe based automotive systems suppliers. In 1998, the company acquired Steyr-Daimler-Puch, an automotive technology and engineering company. Magna floated its plastic exterior modules and systems group, Decoma International, as a separate public company in 1998. Subsequently, Magna Entertainment and Intier Automotive were established as separate companies in 2000 and 2001, respectively. The company acquired
