History

SPX was founded in 1912 in Muskegon, Michigan, as the Piston Ring Company by Paul E Johnson.[1]

After acquiring Accuralite Company in 1931, the company changed its name to "Sealed Power Corporation" and also started manufacturing piston rings, pistons and cylinder sleeves for various military applications.[1]

In 1988 the company changed its name to SPX Corporation. For the next 10 years, they remained a U.S.-centric automotive component manufacturer with nearly $1 billion in sales.[1] In 2012, SPX president Charles E Johnson II sold its Service Solutions business for approximately 2.25 billion dollars to Robert Bosch GmbH.[2][failed verification]
