About Sypris
A Legacy of Excellence in Manufacturing
Nearly a century of forged, machined, and assembled solutions for the industries that move the world.
Built on heritage. Engineered for what's next.
Sypris Technologies is a leading manufacturer and supplier of drivetrain and critical components for the commercial vehicle, automotive, recreational vehicle, mining, agriculture, industrial, and energy sectors.
Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, with strategically located facilities across North America, Sypris has served these industries for nearly a century. We combine deep manufacturing know-how with continuous investment in technology to deliver components our customers can trust on day one — and on day ten thousand.
From the fittings on the Empire State Building, to parts that supported World War II and the world's first nuclear submarine, to the precision shafts on some of America's most iconic vehicles today — when reliability matters, customers come to Sypris.

Where our expertise creates a competitive edge.
Sypris concentrates on markets where our certifications, engineering depth, and manufacturing scale give customers a clear advantage. By aligning with industry leaders who value long-term partnerships, we earn multi-year — and often sole-source — agreements.
Those agreements give us the visibility to keep investing in cutting-edge technology and capacity, which in turn drives the productivity, flexibility, and economies of scale that set Sypris apart on cost, quality, reliability, and service.
What Sets Us Apart
Three principles drive every customer relationship — and every part we ship.
Long-Term Partnership
We build customer relationships that span decades. Most of our work is delivered under long-term, often sole-source agreements with major OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers — partnerships that justify continued investment in the people, technology, and capacity that keep our customers competitive.
Investment in Innovation
Sustained capital investment in advanced equipment, automation, and process controls is what differentiates Sypris on cost, quality, reliability, flexibility, and service. We bring the latest manufacturing technology to bear so our customers can lead their markets.
Open, Direct Communication
Strong, transparent communication keeps long-term programs healthy. Our senior leadership stays personally engaged in customer relationships, ensuring fast response, honest feedback, and collaborative problem-solving at every level.
Our greatest asset works on the shop floor.
We believe the people who design, forge, machine, weld, inspect, and ship our products are the reason customers choose Sypris. We invest in them the same way we invest in our equipment.
- Continuing education and training programs at every level
- Profit-sharing and equity participation that align everyone's success
- A culture of safety, ownership, and continuous improvement
