The company was formed in 2007 from Metzeler North America and parts of GDX. The result was named after Ernst Henniges, who founded a company in 1951 in Germany that made molded rubber parts.

“We didn’t really want to use either name,” DePierre says. “We wanted a new company that represented the new way of thinking and new style of working. We decided on a new name for both companies.” Its other product group makes antivibration bushings for engine and body mounts.

The company has dozens of small competitors in China and India. “In terms of true global competitors, there’s ourselves and four other companies,” DePierre insists. “There’s only a few that can do it globally.”

Henniges Automotive was formed by the combination of two competitors. Wynnchurch Capital bought the North American operations of Metzeler Automotive Profile Systems S.A. and a few months later acquired what it deemed the “most promising assets” of GDX Automotive, which at one time had been under the GenCorp Inc. banner.

Wynnchurch combined the entities under the Henniges Automotive name, derived from the GDX brand that came from a firm founded in Germany by Ernst Henniges in 1951. Wynnchurch said Metzeler North America had strong operating and management systems, but was facing declining revenues. GDX, however, had a good book of business but lacked management systems.

Littlejohn was able to cash in its investment with the $600 million deal to sell Henniges to a JV between state-owned Aviation Industry Corp. of China and investment firm BHR.

AVIC gives Henniges more access to the domestic Chinese auto market, while Henniges beefs up AVIC’s automotive holdings. The company’s management team and staff are expected to stay in place, with the new owners likely seeing a strong track record of success.

Pearson plc, a public limited corporation, is a British multinational multi-billion dollar publishing powerhouse and the largest education company in the world. Pearson Publishing's reported 2017 share in global revenues was $8.2 billion with a staggering 60% control of U.S. textbooks sales. It listed the Libyan Investment Authority as its largest financial contributor.

Obama appointed Vartan Gregorian, board member of the Qatari Foundation International (QFI), to the prestigious and influential President's Commission on White House Fellowships. The Qatar Foundation International partnered with the Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education in 2011 to integrate classrooms in the U.S. and international schools through a program called Connect All Schools.

Obama's deceitful Race To the Top program bribed school districts to accept destructive Common Core standards in exchange for federal grants that also affected teacher certification. New York State no longer evaluates its teachers. Pearson Education does. Pearson Education took over teacher certification for New York State in 2014 with its Teacher Performance Assessment (TPA) and is the sole administrator and evaluator of the assessment.

A 2012 article written by New York Hofstra University educator Alan Singer asks the question, "Pearson 'Education' – Who Are These People?" It is a pivotal question.

Alan Singer writes, "The question that must be addressed is whether the British publishing giant Pearson and its Pearson Education subsidy should determine who is qualified to teach and what should be taught in New York State and the United States? I don't think so! Not only did no one elect them, but when people learn who they are, they might not want them anywhere near a school – or a government official."

In a particularly egregious example of Pearson's ideological bias many advanced placement students used a 2018 textbook published by Pearson titled, By the People: A History of the United States. The final section titled The Angry Election of 2016 depicts President Trump as mentally ill and his supporters as racists. A Pearson spokesperson defended the textbook insisting it had undergone "rigorous peer review to ensure academic integrity." >>7637487
