LuK has gained a high profile position at an early stage as an engineering partner for manufacturers of vehicles with automatic transmission.LuK has been producing dampers for automatic transmissions since as early as 1983. In 1983, LuK enhanced its position by developing and producing its own torque converter in its subsidiary plant in Wooster, Ohio, USA. Due to the expected growth of the automatic transmission market in passenger cars in Europe and Asia too, LuK commenced converter production in its plant in Bühl, Germany, enhancing its focus on the customer. As well as high-performance converters and lock-up clutches, dampers for lock-up clutches and brake bands are also part of the LuK product range.

Components for transmissions
As an engineering partner for automotive and transmission producers, LuK has access to comprehensive expertise for the entire 'transmission' system in almost all of its variants. This manifests itself in components for automated transmissions and double-clutch gearboxes, which today offer alternatives to conventional solutions and are achieved with the particular benefits of fuel consumption and dynamism. Together these transmission variants are characterised as the XSG range. But LuK has also set benchmarks in the area of Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT) with pulleys, flat link articulated chains and controls. On the US market in particular which is traditionally dominated by automatic transmissions, LuK is also known as a specialist in torque converters and lock-up clutches and supplies vehicle and transmission manufacturers. LuK supplies systems and components to customers around the globe, with the same first-class technology, quality and delivery standards, tailored to the special requirements of our customers.
