American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc. has announced a significant change, rebranding itself as Dauch Corporation, effective 26 January 2026. As a result of this change, the company’s shares will no longer trade under the name American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc. and will instead be listed as Dauch Corporation with the ticker symbol “DCH” from 5 February 2026.

David C. Dauch, the Chairman and CEO of the newly named Dauch Corporation, expressed that this change marks a pivotal moment for the company and its shareholders, aligning with their long-term strategy and the imminent business acquisition of Dowlais Group plc and its subsidiaries.

The name change has no bearing on the impending combination with Dowlais Group plc, with the court hearing scheduled for 30 January 2026 and the completion of the combination anticipated on 3 February 2026.

The rebranding signifies a commitment to operational excellence and a dedication to exceeding industry standards, as the company positions itself for future growth and success.

Existing stock certificates reflecting the previous company name will remain valid, with the new branding set to be implemented upon the completion of the combination with Dowlais Group plc.

The statements contained in the announcement reflect the situation as of 26 January 2026, and the publication of this news does not imply that there have been no changes since that date.
