The recent revival or the U.S. automotive industry is a success story on many levels. Bridge loans granted by the government enabled some automakers to restructure. Tightened fuel-economy and pollution standards spurred new R&D. An improving economic climate released pent-up demand for new cars-and this time, Detroit was ready with fuel-efficient, eye-catching models that brought buyers back to the showrooms. The Big Three (Ford, GM and Chrysler) were on the path to recovery. As the automakers' business picked up again, so did that of their suppliers. Dana Holding Corp. -a U.S.-based, Tier 1 global supplier of axles, driveshafts, sealing and thermal-management products, off-highway transmissions and service parts -saw a strong turnaround in revenues and margins. While its customers' recovery was certainly a major contributor to these results, credit for Dana's rebound also goes to an evolution in mindset that helped keep the company on track through tough times.
