The Saginaw Steering Gear facilities in Saginaw, Michigan, once operated by General Motors and later Delphi, were some of the most notorious job sites for asbestos exposure in the state. Thousands of workers were employed in heavy industrial environments where asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were routinely used in foundry operations, maintenance, and machine repair.
Asbestos was common in pipe insulation, furnace linings, gaskets, brake linings, and safety gear. Machinists, maintenance workers, and furnace operators regularly encountered asbestos fibers—often without warning. The dust was frequently inhaled or carried home on work clothes, exposing spouses and children to take-home asbestos exposure.
As early as the 1980s, reports surfaced connecting Saginaw Steering Gear asbestos exposure to diseases like mesothelioma and asbestosis. These claims helped fuel a wave of litigation that continues today. Many workers have received payouts through asbestos bankruptcy trusts and personal injury lawsuits.
If your loved one worked at Saginaw Steering Gear—or if you lived with someone who did—you may be entitled to compensation. It’s not just a legal case. It’s about holding corporations accountable for decades of preventable harm.
