Schwitzer Inc.

Schwitzer Inc. was founded in 1918, in Indianapolis,Indiana, by Louis Schwitzer. At that time Louis Schwitzer, Sr. understood that a car is more than the sum of its parts. So Schwitzer developed many useful auto-related components including the first steering-wheel gear shift, the supercharger and turbocharger, thermostatic controls and pressure oil pumps.

Schwitzer ensured a place in history for himself and his Stoddard-Dayton car, in which he achieved an average speed of 57.43 miles per hour. He returned in 1911 to win again and remained active in the racing community as chairman of the technical committee for the Indianapolis 500.

In 1999, BorgWarner took over Schwitzer and integrated of it in BorgWarner Turbo Systems along with 3K-Warner.
