History

The company traces its history back to the Bundy Corporation, which was founded in 1922 and supplied petroleum fuel lines to the Ford Model T.[3] It was acquired by TI Group plc in 1988.[4] After Smiths Group acquired TI Group in 2000, Smiths Group transferred its newly acquired automotive business into a corporate entity in 2001 thereby creating TI Automotive.[5]

In 2007, the company was acquired by a consortium of private equity investors.[6] The company was forced to go through a debt-to-equity swap in 2009 following the global economic downturn.

William "Bill" L. Kozyra was named chairman, chief executive officer and president of TI Automotive in May 2008.[7]

In January 2015, the company was acquired by Bain Capital for $2.4 billion.[8] [9]

In October 2017, the company floated on the London Stock Exchange under its new name of TI Fluid Systems.[10] The company floated 25 percent of its shares.[11]

In September 2023, it was announced TI Fluid Systems has acquired the Halásztelek-headquartered plastic injection moulding company, Cascade Engineering Europe Kft. for $27.7 million.[12]

The company has two divisions: fuel tank systems and fluid carrying systems (such as brakes, battery cooling and climate control).[13]
