In June 2007, General Motors sold Allison Transmission to financial investors Carlyle Group and Onex Corporation.

At the end of 2017, Onex acquired SMG. The company was sold off in 2019 to merge with AEG Facilities to form ASM Global.[4]
In 2019, Onex acquired Gluskin Sheff, a Toronto-based wealth management firm.[5][6]
