Magna Donnelly company history timeline

1905

Donnelly Corporation was founded by Bernard P. Donnelly in 1905 in Holland, Michigan, as a manufacturer of mirrors for the then-thriving Michigan furniture industry.

1936

1936: The company is incorporated as Donnelly-Kelly Glass Company.

1952

In 1952, when much of Michigan industry was settling down into long-term combative relationships with big unions and top-heavy management systems, Donnelly introduced a system of employee participation and bonuses called the Scanlon Plan.

1965

By 1965, with the company firmly entrenched in the automobile parts industry, sales had quadrupled to almost $4 million, but this still represented only a very small portion of the auto parts market.

1969

CASE STUDY Flextronics International San Jose Mobile Phone Testing United States of America Telecom SoundCheck, Ear Simulator, Calibrators, Microphones was originally founded in 1969.

1976

1976: Donnelly's share of the rear-view mirror market reaches 70 percent.

1984

To reflect the growing diversity in the company's product line--which by this time ranged from windows to liquid crystal displays (LCDs)--Donnelly Mirrors, Inc. was renamed Donnelly Corporation in 1984.

1990

Gentex sued Donnelly in 1990 for patent infringement of its electrochromic mirrors.

1992

In 1992, Donnelly's display coatings business was transferred to Donnelly Applied Films Corp. (DAFC), a joint venture with Applied Films Laboratory Inc. in which Donnelly maintained a 50 percent share.

1993

After a lengthy series of suits and countersuits, in 1993 the parties reached a settlement in which Donnelly agreed to pay Gentex $3.6 million in damages, which took a sizable bite out of net income for that year.

1994

The domination of the interior mirror market, in addition to strong growth in exterior mirrors and modular windows, created annual sales of some $337 million by 1994.

1995

In the first quarter of 1995 Donnelly recorded a net loss of $85,000, at a time when the auto industry as a whole was reporting soaring profits.

1997

In addition, the company announced in 1997 that it was reducing the number of vendors it used, promising to trim its supplier base in half by the end of the decade.
