Frank Stronach

Built Magna from a single tool-and-die shop into a global auto-parts giant.

The problem

Scaling a precision manufacturing business while keeping operations entrepreneurial and accountable.

Stronach grew a decentralized model of small, focused, semi-autonomous plants under a shared operating philosophy.

It became a distinctive Canadian model for scaling advanced manufacturing.

Magna grew into one of the world's largest and most diversified automotive suppliers.
