BorgWarner Emissions/Thermal Systems is a leading tier-one manufacturer of emissions control and cooling systems for automotive applications. The Thermal Systems group, which was created through the merger of Eaton, Kysor, and Schwitzer, faced the challenge of integrating the product development activities of three companies into one efficient organization.

The company selected the SolidWorks 3D mechanical design system because of the software's ease-of-use, value, capabilities for leveraging legacy data, ability to handle polymer moldings and aluminum castings, and integration with numerous add-on modules and specialty applications. BorgWarner added the SMARTEAM PDM system because of its tight integration with SolidWorks, ease-of-use, and openness for integration with existing systems. By standardizing on SolidWorks and SMARTEAM, BorgWarner merged three organizations, shortened its design cycles, reduced errors, and improved design communication and collaboration.
