What Nemak makes

Nemak designs and casts aluminum components for original equipment manufacturers and their tier suppliers across the global automotive industry. The company's product mix centers on three categories: powertrain components for internal combustion engines, structural and chassis parts, and components for electric drivetrains.

On the powertrain side, cylinder heads account for approximately 45% of revenue and engine blocks for 33%, per the company's own investor materials. The structural and e-mobility segment has grown as a stated strategic priority, covering battery housings, motor housings, front-end carriers, body-in-white structural nodes, and related cast components. The company says roughly 70% of its product volume is manufactured from recycled aluminum.

In 2025, Nemak completed the acquisition of GF Casting Solutions' automotive division from Georg Fischer, adding nine facilities in Austria, China, Germany, Romania, and the United States, along with a product portfolio that the company describes as approximately 80% dedicated to e-mobility and structural applications. That transaction added roughly $707 million in 2024 revenue to the combined footprint. A new megacasting facility in Augusta, Georgia, which Nemak built for approximately $184 million, ran its first structural casting trials in July 2026, with commercial production targeting the second half of 2026.

Financial performance

Nemak reported approximately €4.4 billion in automotive-sector revenue for FY2025, per the Berylls by AlixPartners Top-100 study, a 3.7% decline from the prior year. The operating income margin ran at approximately 2%, reflecting ongoing pressure from European market softness and the one-time costs of integrating GF Casting Solutions. The company's own earnings call reported full-year EBITDA of $591 million and an operating income of $97 million for FY2025. A net loss of $116 million for the year, against a $25 million profit in 2024, was attributable primarily to impairments and foreign exchange losses rather than to the underlying casting operations. Nemak reduced its debt by $130 million year over year and guided to $5.3 to $5.5 billion in 2026 revenue, reflecting the first full year of GF Casting Solutions consolidation.

The company employs approximately 24,000 people across its global operations, with the US headcount expanded by the Augusta, Georgia plant ramp-up and the GF integration.
