Automakers do a lot of leaning on TA Delaware (formerly Tower Automotive) for their metal stampings and engineered assemblies. TA's products include body structures and assemblies (body pillars, roof rails); lower vehicle frames and structures (pickup and SUV full frame assemblies); complex body-in-white assemblies (front and rear floor pan assemblies); chassis modules (axle assemblies); and suspension components (control arms, spring and shock towers). TA's largest customers include Ford Motor, General Motors, Honda, and Volkswagen. Struggling financially, TA filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2005; it emerged from Chapter 11 in 2007.
